Author Message   Longshot Posted on Wednesday, April 09, 2014 - 10:43 pm:        Short version: which two pins at connector 22B go to the starter button? One of them is pin 1. What's the other one? Long version: 2010 Long. When I press the starter button, absolutely nothing happens. Most importantly, the headlight doesn't go out. According to the wiring diagram, this means that the start relay is not switching power from the lights to the starter. I swapped the start relay with the key switch relay and the auxiliary relay, both of which seem to be working. Same result, so it looks like the start relay is good. This means that when I press the starter button, the start relay doesn't even receive a signal. That narrows it down to: - the starter button itself - the wire between the button and the start relay - the wire on the other side of the start button that feeds it power - the wire between the start relay and the ECM - the ECM itself I want to check on the first three items in one move. To do this, I need to check continuity between two pins at connector 22B with the start button pressed: pin 1 and pin...??? Which is the other pin?   Longshot Posted on Thursday, April 10, 2014 - 01:26 pm:        Answered my own question - it's pin 2. Now to get home and pull out the multimeter again....   Longshot Posted on Friday, April 11, 2014 - 12:16 pm:        Starter button is bad, new one on order. Maybe someone will find this useful: if your starter button or start relay fails, you can remove the start relay and insert a jumper wire where the two large pins of the relay were. Then, when you switch the key on, the starter will engage. Just yank the jumper wire out once the engine starts and put the relay back in to power the lights.   Froggy Posted on Friday, April 11, 2014 - 02:54 pm:        I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner, I had the same thing happen on my Blast, ended up also being the start switch like you discovered.
