hey, my name is chris and I'm trying to get some help,, so I did a motor swap on an e-class 320 94 straight six cylinder, I didn't take the harness of the motor just disconnected from the computer and reconnected it back to my computer, I hooked everything up back up and checked it twist tried to crank it and it wont say anything,,

WTF does this mean="twist tried to crank it and it wont say anything"

riedjchris

Sorry my phone did that it meant to say I checked everything twice and tryed to crank it up and it didnt do nothing

Plutoe

First things first----are you able to turn the key in the ignition enabling voltage to be sent to the starter!!

riedjchris

Im going to try that.

riedjchris

Ok I check for voltage on the battery wire going to the starter, getting 12 volts to it but not getting any volts to the starter wire

Plutoe

Why not use the jumpers and go directly to the starter---will is start??

riedjchris

Yes it will just not getting any volts to the starter wire

Plutoe

you need wiring diagrams to locate the starter relay that may be faulty!!

riedjchris

Ok thanks

riedjchris

This post doesn't actually make any sense in English.

If you want help you may need to explain yourself better.

"cranking" usually means "engine being spun by starter motor"

"turn over" is used 2 ways, some use this to mean "engine being spun by starter motor" while other means "engine spinning via starter motor, then starts running via combustion".

Take a few moments to explain things clearly and you will have more luck getting help.

On older starters, there were a few ways to "jump" it. 12V+ to the post that energizes the solenoid being one, 12V+to the starter main lead being another.
