    Hi All,

    jumped in car today to start it and nothing, reds on when start reds dull

    so i got a new ultimate battery put that in and still the same thing

    i bypassed the alarm cut off for ignition and tried starting it

    and the ignition wires got really hot until the green 30 amp fuse blew

    questions are

    Q1. is this a earth problem ?

    Q2. is this a starter motor problem ? (eg stuck)

    the ignition relay gets really hot also the one next to it.

    any help please ? :)

    p.s. dull's/earths only when kick over, no action only light dim and wire/fuse blow

    ok sweet, thanx.

    if i'm not wrong i'm able to clutch start it yeah ?

    thanx again for your help, i did think it was starter.

    Clutch start should work.

    Thanx K-zed, it was the starter motor

    all fixed now :) $50 later, cheapest thing spent on car so far.
