Starter motor solenoid cable
My 2011 1.6 Bluemotion has developed an odd starter fault. It won't crank but the solenoid repeatedly switches. Each time it does, the dash display blanks for a second before it repeats. If I run a cable directly from the battery to the solenoid, it cranks normally. After a bit of head-scratching I think I've decided the solenoid cable must be shorting somewhere along its run but I haven't been able to locate where yet. Does anyone happen to know where the solenoid cable terminates or, even better, have a wiring diagram? My searches have come up empty so far.
