So i have an intermittent no start/no crank and have checked many connections except for the one that everyone has mentioned, the RHS false bulkhead stud connector. I have looked for it but i cannot seem to find it, from what i know it is somewhere in the firewall in the legroom of the passenger side.

any further guidance, picture maybe?

 

It is on the other side of the firewall, in the engine compartment; the nut should have a rubber cover over it. Goes through the false firewall, with a nut on the other side. Good idea to check voltages while you are there, should be very close to battery voltage.

 

much appreciated, i will investegate after school tomorrow, thanks

 

Here is a pic of the bulkhead connector on a LHD 1998 XJR and pic with the probe of the Multimeter on it.

Hope that helps

Thanks Lincoln and Jim... Went in and loosened and tightened it. Starts normally, but having fixed it with a hammer makes me think I'll be putting another starter in tomorrow. Thanks for taking the time to send the pics. Bob
