Basically I have two different starters, the orginal and a 1996 that came from a doner xj. Both were tested today at pepboys and passed.
Niether one of the starters will turn. I have the positive lead from the battery going to the large post, and a green wire that comes from the starter relay to the smallest post.
I've posted on another forum about this gremlin I'm facing, here are my multimeter readings;
Update:
Note- I have two different starters ( 87-93 ) and two different starter relays ( 87-89 ) to work with: Batt. voltage/16v. (highest number I have seen on an old batt)
Voltage tests.
- voltage from battery to starter solenoid.jumper cable/16v.NO STARTER ENGAGEMENT! WITH 2 STARTERS!
- voltage from SOL term. wire(green) to starter solenoid post/wire(green)/16v.
- voltage from starter relay(silver-gray box) large pos(+) post to battery neg(-)term./16v.
- voltage from SOL terminal to neg(-) battery post with ignition at start/16v.
Resistance-
- neg(-) Batt post to all starter relay(silver gray box) prongs/Infinite ohms
- resistance between G and L terminals on the starter relay box/32ohms
NOTES AND PROBLEMS!
First off both starters didn't engage while jumping them to the battery pos(+) post.
In response to Saudade on my 87 Wag the only wires I have are ( White-Black/White-Green) and a random red wire with the same style black clip that is getting a constant 12v? My original starter relay box has only three prongs on it. ( G terminal - SOL terminal - L terminal)
On my new junkyard relay box from a 89 XJ it has 4 terminals. It is the same as the one you pictured in relation to the G L and SOL terminal location, and an extra fuel ballast relay terminal with an orange wire my harness does not have. My harness has a fusable link that connects directly to the large battery terminal on the starter relay that is controlling my fuel pump.
In response to dover21, when testing resistance from the negative battery terminal to any of the starter relay posts while the wire clips were not attached I tested infinite. While the wire clips were attached ( by probing the back of the clips) I tested an average of 50 ohms. Not sure what this is but with the 16 volt battery who knows.
Thanks agian for all the help with all the gremlins

To sum up: was wondering if anyone had an 87 renix system with 3 prong starter relay, and if my color coding is correct?
And if I have everything hooked up right and I'm getting voltage to the starter when u turn the key then y isn't the starter doing anything
