I was not thinking straight, (another story) and put the battery in the wrong way round, now the battery light is on permanently, would it be this fuse that's blown, everything else apart from the radio works although not checked the alternator output yetThis one?

Im suspecting the starter relay may be the problem I cant get voltage on the spade terminal of the starter solenoid Im also getting confused over where the starter relay is Ive taken to photos one is of a box behind the rear seat the other is behind the main ECU rear of the engine is either one the starter relay A lot of photos Ive looked at show it in different places,but has someone pointed out they may me of the MG TF Mine is the MG F So useful these forums LenDear Roverlike, just to add my thanks to the other comments for brilliant, very helpful information. My MGf has just failed its french MOT on lights; bizarrely i cured a sidelight problem the day before, where fuse kept blowing - by cleaning contacts putting new fuse in. Then, today, it failed on all sidelights, number plate light and fog lights. I will use your information ot track the problem.thanks patrik
In your picture behined engine ECU you see metal cage. Within that metal cage you will find multirelay black box. Multirelay black box consists of 4 relays from which one is starter relay. You do not have single starter relay, but starter relay is part of mentioned multirelay box. You cannot separate starter relay from this multirelay box. You can exchange only whole multirelay box.Im suspecting the starter relay may be the problem I cant get voltage on the spade terminal of the starter solenoid Im also getting confused over where the starter relay is Ive taken to photos one is of a box behind the rear seat the other is behind the main ECU rear of the engine is either one the starter relay A lot of photos Ive looked at show it in different places,but has someone pointed out they may me of the MG TF Mine is the MG F So useful these forums Len
Now I have a working meter I have started to check various voltages There is no voltage from the ign. View attachment 139155 View attachment 139156 switch when turned to start ,to the start relay coil There is a fuse as Ive shown in line but where is this fuse The only one Ive found,marked fuse 16 on the interior fuse board,is for brake and reversing lights There are other voltages missing for some reason The voltage to the contacts on the fuel pump relay contacts id missing ,but there on the inertia switch which is closed so the 12v should be on the fuel pump relay I cant understand why so many voltages are missing Len
[/Re the ign fuse,its almost impossible to see the fuse number on my drawing I thought it was fuse 15 but now see its fuse 19 Len
