Brain Picking
« on: March 03, 2009, 22:15:56 »
Hi Guys I have a problem with my 300tdi and hope that someone can point me in the right direction.
I have recently had my batteries disconnected for a couple of days while I did some work on my 1996 110, I did the battery removal procedure as I have before and all was well. The batteries have been re-connected for a couple of days now and tonight I went to start it and I get all the ignition lights, interior light etc but then I went to crank it nothing but a very (and I mean very) slight dimming of the ignition lights. I checked the feed to the stop solenoid and that was fine, I then checked the feed to the starter solenoid with the ignition on and that was showing at 8.5v? I then bypassed this feed and ran a wire from the solenoid and with the ignition on touched the lead to the + of the battery and voila she started and ran as per usual. Now I am presuming that this is a problem with the immobiliser? but can anyone confirm this and/or offer some advice as me and the wife are supposed to be going camping friday morning  :? :?

well it turned out to be dry solder joints on the immobiliser pcb in the battery box.
I took the immobiliser out stripped out the pcb and re-soldered the joints and yee haa it worked first time and allowed me and the missus to have a very cold and windy camping trip   :doh:
Thanks for your replys guys  :lol:
