92 B13 SER no start
Having a really hard time diagnosing a no start in my bluebird swapped 92 b13. I was doing some redline pulls and after the last one the battery and ebrake light came on and stayed on permanently, we all know this to be a bad alternator. The car continued to fire right up like normal and drive perfectly, but the battery and ebrake lights remained constant. A few days later the car suddenly wouldnt start and I thought, the alternator gave out. Since then I have been struggling to diagnose why the car wont start. Ive replaced the alternator, removed and tested the starter, put a good battery in, checked/sanded all my main grounds, swapped main ignition fuseable link by the battery with power window fuse as well as making sure all other fuses are intact. When I turn the key, the relays near the drivers fuse box are clearly clicking, so it leads me to believe my ignition switch is good. One thing I havent done is bypass the clutch safety switch which is the next on my list. Ive read countless threads about this same issue, searched and searched and searched some more. My friend who knows and builds SRs frequently is at a loss as well. If anyone has any suggestions as to where I should go from here please chime in. Thanks

If it was the clutch switch it wouldnt even click or anything.
Check the starter again .I have had some starters test out good at the autoparts store,then come back home and not work.
The last time it drove me crazy I swapped 3 starters that tested good before I got one that actually worked in the car..,
Its crazy the guy testing it tells me it must be the car.It wasnt the car and I still havent had an issue with that starter since.

Either way this should be helpful for you in the future ,if not now.

If you don't mind me asking, where was the starter from?

The starter currently on the car is a remanufactured unit, not sure where it came from. It passed a few times but as eggman said, who knows with these damn things
