Audi Coup? 1991 2.3 Quattro - Not starting

Tony, thanks for the tip Is not an Auto, and so far i can check it, its not the ignition switch. Thats the first think i thought, because i had this problem with my previous Coupe, a 1985 model. When i switch with the key to the ignition position, i can hear a little 'tick' around my dashboard, so i am pretty sure it's acts correctly. It's strange, the owners manual nowhere refers to any fuse.

Benoit, Is the "tick" from your dash, or from the starter solenoid under the hood? Like Tony says, check the wires at the starter to see if they are getting power. There's a braided cable that runs from the solenoid to the starter - often it gets corroded and causes the starter to pack up. Cheers! Steve Sears

Hi Steve,

The tick is from the dash The solenoid and starter are fine, because i already started the car taking power directly from battery.. There is something wrong between the solenoid to ignition switch. My local dealer told me by phone he is pretty sure it is my ignition switch, because there is no fuse between both.. i have to messure step by step and check my wires

Thx for the help

Hi Tony,

The solonoid is working. Whith a friend we did the test with the voltmeter, but no power coming from wire. Getting power directly from battery with a external wire, solonoid activates the starter, and car is running

Thx Benoit

It is the first thing i will check tommorow I will post the answer if i can locate the problem Thanks anyway
