Bongo Fury

Driving up motorway from home on the south coast at 70mph for 2 hours stopped for a coffee 30 minutes later tried to start but nothing. Battery, starter and solenoid checked and ok. Added extra earth strap still no joy. All the dashboard lights come on as usual but when the key reaches the starter position only a click from the bonnet area can be heard. Any suggestions gratefully received. Tiel

Have you got an immobiliser fitted Tiel?

Thanks bigdaddycain. No imobiliser fitted and this is the only problem I've ever had with my bongo.

Sounds like starter contacts but you say thats checked


have you checked the large fuses under the bonnet

A click under the bonnet does sound like the starter motor not engaging.

got engine running by connecting cable from terminal connector spade to positive post on battery having turned ignition on. Does this point to a defective starter cut out relay? Thanks

Here is the circuit if it helps;

It sounds like the usual starter solenoid contacts, which don't always fail totally but no expertise in that area myself.

could it be the fusable link?

I dont realy think so but worth considering

there is also a 10 amp fuse in the fusebox by the drivers knee that runs the low power side of it that could be it also
