HSM Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 (edited) Went out in the TR6 today for a short run to the local garden centre. Came out to restart ( nothing incl. not any lights ). checked battery terminals o.k. all lights suddenly came on & car started. Drove back to the garage, no power again. Checked positive lead to starter solenoid o.k. checked connection at solenoid no power to main loom. Disconnected connections at solenoid ( all slightly corroded ) cleaned them all up & full electrical power restored. Hope this may be of some help to anyone out there that experiences a similar failure. Harvey S. Maitland Edited June 14, 2020 by HSM Quote Link to post Share on other sites
