[vulcan300]

I have a 2001 Twin Turbo 996 on my hands that just won't start. When I checked the diagnostic readout there were no fault codes for the DME and the most recent fault code in the Alarm module was "W-Lead (DME Immobilizer) Short to B+ Fault Code 23".

The procedure to check is apparently

"Voltmeter at plug I alarm control module PIN 23 and ground. Switch Ignition On. Display: 0 Volt."

So from this I assume I need to connect PIN 23 and ground out (to the chassis of the car perhaps?), turn on the ignition and if zero volts is displayed I have a defective Alarm module that must be replaced?

If someone could shed some light on what needs to happen here I'd appreciate it.

Also, is there a way to check whether power is being sent to the starter by checking the fuse panel or some other location that is more accessible than the starter motor itself?

Thanks in advance
