hotwire from under the bonnet

[fozzyx123]

after ripping out my dash!!!!!..is it possible to start my sj413 from under the bonnet so i can work out the wires to fit a switch? ...ive got wiring diagrams but its just not working, is thier a hidden fuse somewhere as i now no longer even get an ignition click

[OllieSJ]

there is a small wire will get a pic tomox if needed

run a live wire to the positive of the ignition coil and bridge the starter motor solenoid.
i think thats all?
please correct me if im wrong people:)

[fozzyx123]

have bridged the selonoid and that spins..but no ignition turnover

Use a jump lead to turn it over.

[mk1joe]

you mean its not turning the engine over? hmm, try feeding power to the smaller wire on the starter instead?

[fozzyx123]

right...good news.....managed to fire the engine up!!!!
here's the thing...i ran a wire from the small wire where you said direct to the battery, then a live where from the solonoid to the battery, question is....will anything burn out between directly linked or now?

You just want it wired up as normal, I.e the large wire from batt to starter and the earth wire attached to a starter bolt.

Then bridge a fused live to the ignition coil. Then all you need to do is put a wire on the spade terminal on the starter and connect it to the battery positive to turn the starter and get it started, then disconnect it once its running.
