Stating problem

[biggie944 0]

First off hi to everyone nice forum you have here,

now i need a bit of help please my friend has a k reg (1993)vr6 and he rang me up yesterday to say his car wouldnt start and was jut clicking when he turned the key so i just thought easy the starter is knackered,when i got there the clicking he could hear was a relay and not the starter so i followed the wire up to some kind of relay box that is under the coolant header tank,then i found that the big fuse on the front of it had blown i thought great so changed the fuse but it still wouldnt turn over anyway my friend said he saw smoke come from round where this box is so i pressume this box is fried.

Can anyone tell me what this box is and what it does please as i am pretty sure this is the problem

Thanks biggie944

here is a pic showing the location of it:

No egg sucking meant....

Usually the clicking sound is a flat/on the edge battery.... (cold weather issue)

Do the headlights come on and what happens when you turn the key??? Go out or stay on????....

If out then battery....

Good luck let us know...
