Did you change the engine wiring loom?

 

The order of the ignition and starter solenoid wires are swapped around on the underdash brown plugs between Phase 1.5 and Phase 2 cars, so if you've used a loom from a different age car, you'll need to swap those two wires around and then it'll work fine.

It's the thick red wire (wire #2) and the thick blue wire (wire #46) that are at the end of the two under-dash brown plugs. Obvious enough when you look at it

How many topics about the same problem are you goiong to make?

 

If you haven't got an idea of what you are looking at now & sorted it out maybe you shouldn't bother because it sounds to me like this car is going to be a fire hazard.

 

Everything you have asked (several times) is all on here from previous topics & you have been handed all the info needed to do this job in various of your previous topics?

 

Do you look at them or just start another topic instead?
