Hi CT members i have a 86 vl calais series 1 and it was auto and converted to manual. Drove it for 2 weeks and it wont start ive put in a new starter motor and it still wont start unsure of the problem need help?

what you mean it wont start? it wont roll over? like it trys but doesnt catch on? more info mate.

No sound when trying to star it

So it doesn't crank / turn over? Sounds like an Electrical/Ignition issue.

yes it doesnt crank at all and the brake light comes on the dash and it seems to be the baterry is always going flat overnite and always have to charge it

Flat battery Starter motor not working Possible wire which charges battery whilst car is on has been disconnected by accident.

The battery is good it's near new only had it for 5 months

Cas???

possibly a starter relay, not sure if VL's have them or not tho.

Way is cas?

is it cranking.. as in is the engine turning? Its a simple circuit.. if the car isnt cranking at all check the two ****ing wires that goto the starter and the other two wires which goto the alternator.. If its cranking but NOT STARTING.. then check to see if you have spark to any cylinder by disconnecting each lead and seeing if it spark that cylinder.. if no cylinders are sparking its your CAS..

look down by the battery, there are some relays screwed onto the guards. there is one there with two purple wires coming out of it (I think the other 2 wires coming out of it are green?). Cut those two wires off from the relay, then join them together, then see if it starts. It's a common thing with VL's which have been converted from manual to auto.

i had a simalar problem and it was the ignition module

MUST READ IF YOUR ECU DOESNT TURN ON Is your ecu turning on? I had a ****ing bitch figuring out my problem, turns out one of my relays was staying stuck intermittently. Basicly my ecu wasnt turning on when i turned my car on, so after playing with the wires i heard one of the relays click and the car would work. Everytime the ecu wouldnt turn on i would take the relay in and out. So put a new one in and now the ecu and fuel pump start every time.
