6G Celicas Forums

I was wondering if somebody could tell me were the ground wires are located so i can clean them. The reason 4 this is because my car wont start and i just got my starter rebuilt and i was told to clean them.

Easy, follow your negative cable right from the battery, it should be bolted to the chassis (body) and to the engine block. Tighten all bolts if necessary, and also clean your engine block or tranny housing where the starter is mount. The ground of the starter is the engine block itself. Also clean all the positive connections that come to the starter. Try that and tell me how it works

i was wandering if you or anybody knew were they are located sence the previous owner relocated the battery to the trunk and i cant trace the neg wire

Sorry to tell you that, but you'll have to trace the ground wire. No way to be shure that you have good grounds other way Or, try to get a 8 gauge wire and set a new ground for your engine block, running it from the negative, under your Celica. But if it's not your trouble, you'll waste your money

ok so i found the ground wire, it was bolted to the trunk floor, so i cleaned it and tried to start it and got nowere, so i took my truck to the front and hooked it to the positive cable and hooked the neg to the block and still got nothing, i push in the clutch and turn the key and it makes like a click noise coming from like the front center consoul

Bad positive connections, bad relays, bad clutch killswitch, bad starting switch, your problem could be anything like this. Do you have an anti-thief system of some kind?

no anti-theif system
