Cap44 Posted Monday at 10:20 Share Posted Monday at 10:20 Hi 07 Ducato 100hp. Lost power to the starter motor solenoid so being a long way from home I just ran a wire to energise it. In hind sight perhaps this was not the correct thing to do without isolating the wire from the loom re backfeed. Just came back from a walk and the headlights have come on without the motor being touched. I could turn them off only by being very gentle with the ignition switch. So I thought better start the engine to charge batterys after the lights being on for so long. Turned ignition on and have no fuel pump so no engine start. Anyone know if these are connected. Im in North Wales and auto electric guys are very very few & far between. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labby Posted Monday at 11:00 Share Posted Monday at 11:00 If it is an X250 series Ducato it could be worth a look for problems in the under bonnet fuse/relay box as the main beam headlight , fuel pump and ignition have relays and fuses in there .

It probably is a Ducato X250 as early models had the 100 Multijet 2198cc Ford Puma motor (100 PS/74 kW/99 hp at 2,900 rpm). Perhaps not immediately relevant to this issue, but it would still be useful to have identification details of Cap44's motorhome... https://forums.outandaboutlive.co.uk/topic/66959-identify-your-vehicle-please/#comment-719794 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap44 Posted Monday at 14:37 Author Share Posted Monday at 14:37 Sorry Yes its a 250 model with main relays under the bonnet on the n/s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap44 Posted Tuesday at 16:03 Author Share Posted Tuesday at 16:03 Hi the above faults traced to relays on top off the fuse box. Well the fuel pump runs if the relays are pushed down. Does anyone know if I pull all the relays out & fuses out can the top off the board come up so I can clean the contact's inside without all the bits shooting out every where to be lost forever?

Labby Posted Tuesday at 16:59 Share Posted Tuesday at 16:59 (edited) It could be the contact pins that go into the multiplugs , under the bottom of the board , that may need cleaning , Edited Tuesday at 17:01 by Labby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap44 Posted yesterday at 07:58 Author Share Posted yesterday at 07:58 Thanks Labby, they look fine. New box on its way. Once I have it I will look inside the old one. In the meanwhile lots to do with the wiring around there, what a mess from the factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
