Subject:86 Westy STONE DEAD
From:Bob Woodcock
Date:Wed, 15 Dec 1999 12:24:43 EST

I'm new to the list and would like a little advice.
I have an 86 Syncro- Ran great for many years. it sat in the driveway for
almost a year (mea culpa). I went to start it last week and it was dead-no
lights, radio, nothing. A new battery didn't help. I took a look at the
battery relay (the one that shunts juice to the spare battery under the
passenger seat)- it was fired so i replaced it. Still dead a a door nail. I
have the terminals correctly assigned. I can short out the relay and get
radio, etc, but no cranking power.
I would love to get this thing going and maybe sell it to a good home.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Bob W
