i finally tore into my 2010 JCW after it sat for 4 months due to low boost code and oil leaks. i replaced the turbo and misc seals, OCC etc. now i dont have climate control to bleed the coolant system, and the car wont start. i replaced the battery. no joy.
i am focusing on the starting issue first. the coils do not have 12v with key on. fuse is good. i'm getting battery voltage to pin 3 of the relay. so its either the relay or the JBE. this video says pin 6 should go from battery voltage to ground. there is no pin 6...


its possible its the JBE and that's causing all the issues. not sure what causes them to fail. requesting tips.

Cheers

 

Do you have a sun roof? If so one of the drains runs down the A pillar right above the JBE causing water damage which makes them fail.

I looked at the wiring diagram something is off or I'm reading it wrong. Pin 6 is actually pin 1 on the relay. I went out and checked on my 09 S and pins 2 and 5 for the relay were hot and had 12v that's with the key off. So once the JBE grounds pin 1 it will activate the solenoid in the relay.

Pin 5 on the DME connector X60231 should have power if you're getting voltage at pin 3 on the relay. Its a green wire.
