The problem, electrically, is before the starter terminal. No need to go there.

jhonathan978 · 12-17-2012, 01:19 PM

So what should I do

Next test:

1. Red meter lead to battery positive, black to battery negative.
2. Key on, push start button and take a reading.

Note. Only push start long enough to get voltage reading.

Post back.

I don't want to tread on ur toes here sfair, there's a way we use to use here if one of our vehicles had either relay or starter problems n that was to use an old spanner or screwdriver to bridge the posts on the relay to bypass the possible dirty contacts within the relay.

I know of that method, but I prefer using a meter. It avoids the shower of sparks and all of the potential hazards they may contain including getting in one's eyes. Also, voltage transients can put the ECU at risk.

This last check will determine what direction we take.
Post back when you get the opportunity. I am in no hurry if you are not.
One pitfall of internet troubleshooting is that it can be time consuming, at best.
