Screwdriver trick at solenoid starts the car so I replaced ignition switch but it did not fix the problem. Not even a click when I turned the key but all the lights and fuel pump come on. The seat belt buzzer box under passenger
seat has been disconnected and the yellow wires connected to bypass it per recommendation from previous posts. Suggestions? Thanks. |

if no voltage, you have to check the relay board, you have 2 connectors, one is a 12 pin, the other a 14 pin 14 pin connector #1 yellow, main trunk, starter wire from ignition switch 12 pin connector #6 yellow, starter solenoid if you have voltage at the #1 pin, yet no voltage at #6, you have a fault with the relay board or corrosion buildup on the pins. |

You may have voltage but not enough juice. Make sure the contacts (male and female) are clean and tight. You can split the male pin with a razor blade which will help tighten the connection. Also make sure the connections on the starter are clean and tight. -Jeff |

Make sure your coil hasn't spun in the clamp, if you short a terminal on your tin, there is a black wire that runs to your ignition switch that is not fused and will melt out, ask me how I know. That was a pain to replace the wire, not to mention after the 3 ignition switches I replaced before I realized what I messed up.
