Further problems with the rebuild of my 1988ninety fitted with a 200TDI
I have fitted a bulkhead and seatbox from a TD5 with the dash and wiring loom still attached. In my simple mind I think I can run a wire from the battery to the fuse box under the drivers seat then ignoring the wires that would have been from the ecu use the wire to the ignition and also the live that feeds the fuse box. I obviously do not have an ECU.
This results in the ignition switch working and the wipers etc working when the ignition is in position 2 so all is good. The problem is starting the engine, when the ignition is held against the spring (crank position) I have a live feed to the white and red wire at the starter relay which is what I need. There is also a permanent live feed to one of the terminals on the starter relay and also a black and orange wire to another terminal, I believe this is the alarm??.
The problem is there is no live (brown and red wire) coming out of the relay.If I connect the small black and orange wire across the relay to the white and red terminal then when I crank the ignition I have a live coming out but the relay makes a strange noise which makes me think I have got something wrong
I have read many many threads without finding the info so any help would be appreciated.
