[Mk2] [NA] Starter motor relay location

[AnThoMan]

Hey all,

My car has (3 times) immobolised itself, the latest being last night in the middle of nowhere.

The tow truck guy started the car after applying live to the starter motor. I'm thinking the starter motor relay may have gone.


Could anyone point me in the direction of its location? Pain in the bum not having a Haynes manual..as useless as they are most of the time haha.


Cheers,

Andrew

starter relay is in the rear in the boot. Behind the cover that u look at as u look in the boot lol if that makes sense

mine did the same not long ago, check the earth conection to the starter relay, mine lost it and from one or two posts on here its happened to a few people.

I sorted mine out by just splicing in a wire and bolting it to the body where the starter bracket is mounted

if need be i can take some pics of the location and tell you which wire it is (will have to look at it on the car tho as i cant remember which pin number in the connector the earth is lol, dont mind tho if u want me to)

hope its the same problem as its an easy fix!

i was dreading it when it happened to me, i had visions of needing a starter motor etc, thought it was gonna cost a load but just needed a wire lol

Result! Attached a new earth wire and it started straight away.

Thanks.
