hi guys could anyone tell me how to bypass the starter enable relay i would like to permanetly enable it since im not running a vats system anymore thanks

 

Remove the kick panel to the left of the brake pedal and you'll see the relay. Just splice the wires together and voila..

 

which color wires do i splice together? ithink there are 4 wires one grn/white one dark green one thick yellow one skiny yellow hope you can help me out im in strife havent started my car for nearly two years since engine rebuild thanks

 

pull the cover off of the enable relay and bend the contacts together.work good last long time!!

 

this might sound stupid but could you give me a more detailed approach to the wiring not very good with wiring and electrical side of things so i take the relay that looks identical to the fuel pump relay off then im left with the 4 wire connector so from then on which coloured wires do i join?

 

Splice the two thick ones together (I think dark green and yellow).

 

thanks ill give it a go and see what happens

 

Take the top off the relay, it just pops off. Then you'll see a coil of wires and on the end a little switch. All you have to do is wedge a peice of metal in there or pry it closed. Would be a lot easier than splicing the wires and you won't be changing anything permanently..

 

I ran the Bypass on my car, it tried to kick over for a few seconds and now it is doing the same thing it did with the Bad starter Relay in place (I.E. wont engage my starter)could I have blown my Starter up by not having a Fuse between the Splice? any word would be helpful. Thank you in Advance

 

did it ever work having the same problem

 

yes it did mike was spot on

 

I have something hanging under my dash that kills my car if disconnected and also wont start if disconnected and it has two grren wire, a yellow and maybe a brow or light purple. on the other end is a looped black wire. My handle is ManzGTA91 and i have a picture of it posted in my profile. Could you take a look and let me know maybe what this thing is?

 

Hey guys, I'm trying to find all of the relays for starting and everything to get the car to start with an LS... So I have my left kick panel off and there is a relay in there but is that the starter relay or the starter enable relay? And where is the one that it is not? I know I have to cut and splice the bigger wires together on both of those relays but I am not sure where both of them are exactly... any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

 

There is one one relay for the starter the starter enable relay. Connect the two outer larger gauge green to yellow wire.

 

I guess that's why I couldn't find the starter relay. Lol and so after I connect those two wires is it okay to disconnect the VATS module attached to the firewall?

 

The relay maybe under some tar tape under the kick panel.
After the enable relay wires are connected together you can leave or remove the passkey module.
Iirc it's very easy to access.

 

How do you remove the driver side kick panel? There is one screw holding it on but it does not come off easily. Do you have to remove the lower plastic door strip and the seat belt holder as well?

 

The kick panel is next to where your brake pedal is. I don't recal if there are any screws that retain it it may be held on with clips.

 

Ok, I'll try prying it off, hopefully without breaking anything!

 

There are atleat two screws that hold the panel on

 

Great, now I have the panel off. That screw was covered by the carpeting and I would never have found it otherwise!

Now all I need to know is which of these two items in the photo I uploaded is the starter relay? It doesn't seem to correspond with the other photo posted above.


Items behind kick panel. Is one of them the starter relay?

 

I thought all 3rd gens with vats had the enable relay there. Try looking up higher on that side.

 

What you posted here was spot on for my 91 RS. Many thanks for posting that picture. It solved my intermittent starting issue. I even had VATS disabled in my ECM.

 

Single Click of Starter...new starter and solenoid, starter relay has been checked and jumped, still same issue. Getting 11+vdc across terminals when ignition switch is energized. everything else seems to checkout...Just put a boost on the battery and she seemed fine...am I over thinking this and it's just a weak battery? thoughts?

 

What’s the battery surface charge ?

 

It sounds like a low voltage issue. Get 12 volts to it and see if its stops. Mine does it too. If the starter clicks its getting juice and has nothing to do with VATS.
