One weird thing, I just happened to have the fuse cover off, when I tried to start it, the R7 relay would light up on one of the corners of the relay. Is this normal for the relay to do? Does it sound like the starter solenoid is out? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. 2000 Black SVT Contour #416 of 2150 Built on 11/18/99 Alpine Headunit w/ XM

At least the water pump will last about 60k (ha ha ha). 2000 SVT Black & Blue #205 of 2150 Kenwood Head Unit 2001 SR5 4 Runner 4x4
