1990 Montero ... I've got good power from a new battery, but when I turn the key all I hear is the click of relay's behind the dash ... nothing from the engine or starter though ... I thought this might be a bad engine control relay? ... or possible the solinoid on the starter? ... this has happened 3 times ... first 2, it suddenly "fixed" itself after a couple of hours (and some bad language), then worked fine for about a week ... now it hasn't fixed itself this time. Any ideas of what it could be?


Try hitting the starter with a hammer (seriously) a few times. Be careful to avoid hitting the solenoid (piggy backed on the starter).

If she starts afterwards, then you know what's wrong.
