Ran into a little snag lately.
The Talon will not crank or start. The fuel pump has power and runs, the starter has 12v. power to it but the signal wire to the solenoid does not power up. The ignition switch and clutch switch seems to work because I can toggle the fuel pump on and off with the clutch switch and the key in the start position. So in my mind that leaves the starter relay. Does anyone have a spare starter relay that I can try out? -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

Thanks to black92_tsi I was able to keep from wasting money at the dealership for a new starter relay. Unfortunately, that means my starter relay was not bad.
So I pulled the starter checked it and it was fine (What a pain in the a$$ that is with all the other items still hooked up). So that only left the ECU. So I pulled the ECU. Everything looked fine, so as a last ditch effort I put a different EPROM in the ECU. When I checked the starter wire everything seems to be working fine. Just to double check, I put the original EPROM back in the ECU and I got the same results... everything working fine! So that means that maybe there is a loose wire or connection somewhere damn it! There re no hard parts left to check. So I will check out the harness as I put the starter and the ECU back in. Then get Black92_tsi's relay back to him. -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo
