Issue: Stbd Engine will not crank over.
Components: Battery, Key switch, Starter/Starter Solenoid, Glow Plug Relay, Starter Relay, 40amp breaker/fuse, Alternator.
Troubleshooting so far:
1. Found glow plug relay bad
2. Found Starter relay bad
The port engine starts and ran fine. Took relays from STBD engine installed on port engine and it would not start.
Took both good relays from port engine and installed on stbd engine. Turned key on, got a glow plug light, but 40amp fuse was clicking when turned key to start and no engine turn over. Disconnected fuse and bypassed fuse. Same result clicking.
Made sure battery was fully charged.
So I convinced my friend to take the alternator and starter in to get tested. May be a bad starter solenoid.
So ideas? Comments?
