My Coupe build is nearly complete with a Gen 3 coyote. First start went perfect as did the following 25 or so starts over the las 5 months for various purposes. Did another start on thanksgiving for for relatives in town and started right up and ran it for about 2 minutes. Went to start it the other day to move the car aside and would not crank. Fuel pump and throttle body make their initial sequences but when turned the key to crank nothing happens except a single click. Everything associated with the RF harness has power (gauges, heater fan ect). Battery fully charged. Checked all mini fuses in PDB and RF panel. My current thoughts are: bad ignition switch, bad starter relay in PDB or bad solenoid. Starter is wired to get 12v from switched side of master disconnect as is the RF harness. Plan: after battery disconnected I will disconnect the starter 12v feed and starter solenoid wire coming off the coyote harness. Reconnect battery and first check for 12v coming from power disconnect switched feed to starter ( should be good since RF harness coming off same switched disconnect post). Next question I suppose is the check that 12v is seen on the starter wire going to the solenoid when the key is turned. If I see 12v then I suppose the solenoid is bad?? If no voltage then bad ignition switch or bad starter relay??
Before proceeding wanted to get feed back on plan or any other thoughts. Thanks
