Hi Jack. Fantastic content! I have a 2014 QX80 doing exactly the no start/clicking scenario. Not always, but enough to freak out my wife. I eliminated the issue for a while by cutting the wire which was keeping battery from charging all the time. Now the clicking issue has returned. Is there any way to get a copy of the schematics you are showing in the videos?
@@wireless641 Check your public library web page for a link to the Chilton repair manuals online. That's how I got them for free. My intermittent start was due to a starter motor. I bought a new one from either Amazon or Rock Auto. I replaced it myself and have not had an issue since.
Hi Jack! I've got a question for you - I'm trying to add a kill switch to the starter button with starter wiring harness, do you know which color would be the B+ I've done some readings and kept getting blue and white as the ACC and the orange/brownish color as the B+ but wanted confirmation. Maybe you could help provide an answer.
Ignition switch (push button) output power to BCM is terminal 4 on connector M101, it is a light blue wire. Terminal 1 in M101 is black, that's the ground wire.
2013 qx56 was shorted out by crossed cable wires no power to starter from red wire from ipdm does that mean bad ipdm unit everything else works in vehicle
It's hard to know if your IPDM is bad with only what you've shared, but it is possible the IPDM was damaged. I have some other ignition trouble shooting videos you might view and do a little more troubleshooting. As for the starter specifically, the transmission control module also plays a role in allowing power to go to the starter solenoid. I've got a short video about testing that also. I wish I had a quick easy answer for you, but it just isn't that simple. IPDM are too expensive to guess at and buy a part you might not need.
