How you doing Scotty I'm a big fan I've been watching you for years so I have some issues with multi vehicles kind of my mom's husband messing with my cars manipulating them you know but I've narrowed it down I've been working on them they all have the same issue where basically I pinpointed it to the fuse box I believe but the 2007 Lexus GS 350 what was weird is the starter relay if you just touched it it would start on its own and repeatedly start I made progress bye attaching some wire to the opposite and to the fuel pump relay and I would move the starter relay and then touch the wire and it would start but I'd have to pull out the starter relay because it would keep trying to start and you can drive it but it's basically a dead car you know there's no power kind of the radio works but you know what I mean there's no power steering etc but what I did figure out is I started connecting relay to relay wire you know piggybacking and all the power suddenly came on so I'm not sure if it's it's got to be a wire or something anyway driving me crazy so the other vehicle is a 2004 Lincoln aviator same issue I can start the car with the wire and the starter relay but it just cranks the only way it will actually start up and then turn off is if I take off the carburetor and physically pour gas or spray starter fluid I've already pushed the button on the inside for the fuel pump release it's not engaging but what's weird on this box is if you touch any relay it kind of starts clicking and going crazy like they're all trying to make connections one by one some are very loose some are extremely stuck in there where I have broke the casing trying to get them out and had to use tools so that's my issue so I'm not sure if it's a cut wire but I'm open to any thoughts to help me I've been working on this day and night through the winter and winter starting to come up again I'm going to go out there now and try and see if I can locate any cut wire from the fuse box I'm going to have to take the wrapping off or something and see if there's a wire missing you know what I mean let me know thanks you can also reach me at 734-799-7795 thanks man you're one of the best mechanics and my dad owned a Mr muffler to the 80s you're way better than him thanks Scotty.

All right, you're obviously having an electrical problem. Generally, though a starter relay gone, bad will not do that on its own. I would assume you have electrical failure in the car somewhere anywhere from the ignition switch itself to the wiring on the relay box to the starter motor itself or even the starter motor itself is shorted out. So start testing all that
