    Default suspecting the unloader relay

    From what i understand, the unloader relay is what shuts the power down to all that is not necesary in ignition. My car that wont start, when i turn the key to position 3 will not crank, attempt to crank, click, fart, or have lights/radio shutdown.

    my question is, would a faulty unloader relay prevent cranking, or would it just not cut accesories duting cranking. because i definatly have noo cranking whatsoever and with an icestorm moving in this weekend, i would love to fix this ASAP

    thanks guys

    hmm. Sorry to hear your troubles are ongoing.

    Maybe buy a set of new relays from Vines Automotive or one of those lots on eBay would be worth the $US20 odd- it is worth having spares and you could always try replacing them all.
