and there seems to be no electricity heading towards the fuel pump now either.

I recently replaced the starter due to the starter solenoid completely burning out (smoke and everything). The problem started with the engine cutting out and being difficult to start. I thought it may simply be a clogged fuel filter so I changed out the fuel filter which didn't help a thing. Found out in the process that the battery was to small for the cranking amps required. I replaced the old battery with a 900 cranking amps battery - still had the same problem. In the process of trouble shooting I ended up burning out the starter solenoid. After changing out the starter it would not even turn over, and now there is no power going to the fuel pump as well. It seems to me like I may have tripped a sensor or a safety device when I burned out the starter. Anyone have any suggestions as to where to look for such a thing? Is it possible for a normal mechanically enclined person to manually reset these types of things or does it require a computer program?

Wont start.....

Hi,
There is a fuel cut off safety switch under the drivers seat, accessed from the back side, using a flash light you will see a little black box. It has a little "plunger" in the top of the black box, if this is popped up then the fuel pump is cut off. It is reset by pushing the "plunger" down.

I also wonder if you may of blown a fuse along the circuit somewhere. If your solenoid got that hot something could of blown. Check out all your fuses in the fuse box. Also follow the cables from your battery to the chassis & battery to the starter. Check all connections are good & tight.

Good luck,
Andy

try touching the starter selinoid terminals with a screwdriver.. sometimes the wires from the ignition switch to the starter. I got my Rover like this, they couldn't figure it out after putting in a new alternator and starter and battery.. hehehe . option by pass starter button.. :buttrock:
