Thanks James. I assumed the inertia switch was ok because I was getting ignition on battery voltage at the relay. Checked it anyway and have battery volts on both sides of the switch.
Michael. Checked all ECU feeds (2) and earths (3) and all intact. The only odd thing I encountered was that one feed (ignition off) took a while to get to battery voltage...maybe 10 secs. Starts off at about 9v and achieves NEAR to battery volts in that time. No idea why that is.
Anyway, today I took a close look at the control relay and think I have found a problem. Disregarding pins 87a and 87b I took readings at the relay SOCKET and this is what I found. Pins 85 and 86 had battery voltage with ignition on. Pin 30 contained direct battery voltage. According to my old notes, I should have one pin with an earth (pin 85). If that is the case, why do I have battery voltage? I can check if this is coming from the ECU, or a break in the harness somewhere, cross feeding the battery voltage.
So before I revisit and spend another few hours on this thing, I would appreciates your thoughts on my findings/comments.
Regards
