Location for the Master Connector on dashboard..?

[Bootlegger]

Run an independent ground from the battery to the starter to test it. My experience is that many electrical issues are ground related. You may have already thought of this.... Good luck!

Particlewave,

I received the pictures of the location of the Power Distributor, and now I know that before you can lower it into the passenger floor, first you need to remove the nuts next to the battery...

Hopefully there is a blown fuse, it mentions F-5 for the engine electronics with a rating of 80 Amps ..!

When I removed the starter to get it checked, I ensure that the connectors with the 12VDC were tight, and also checked the ground connectors between the engine and the frame

I will inspect the power distributor box tonight and let you guys know, I do really appreciate all the kind support and suggestions!

Regards, Gilles

Bootlegger,

I agree with you, after more than three decades of driving Fiat X1/9's and a couple of Alfa Romeo cars, I learn to respect the importance of the ground conections

Finally good news,

The cause for my car problem ended being a faulty relay, Sunset Porsche help me to ID the relay for the starter and provided the P/N and (# 7) location on the relay box. and as soon as I replace it, the engine cranked to life.

You can imagine the joy to hear her purring, and after a detailed hand wash and 50 mile drive, the car feels awesome.

I also bought and installed a new ignition switch, and you can really feel the difference between the old and new switch, I am glad that I replace it.

I wanted to thank all of you that help with suggestions and even pictures (Thank you Particlewave, Markus,78F350) believe it or not, I learned a lot about the electrical system on my car (didn't have to remove the master Connector box)

The relay box is hidden above the fuse box and difficult to reach or see, as all you can see from below, are the connectors for the relays , and you need to lower the entire assembly to access the relays.

Thanks again for all the support, this place Rocks..!


PS: since all the (5) relays, had the same Tyco P/N (for different functions), perhaps may be a good idea to carry one as a spare, I know I will do it... LOL
