Here's what happened:

I pulled the connector to the circuit board in my '73 1.7L, then pulled the fuse and relays to check continuity. When I put everything back together, I connected the battery and the thing turns over! The key is not in the ignition. What did I do? Help!

How could anyone possibly think the relays or fuses on the board could have anything to do with this problem? The Cap'n

Mabe he should pull the yellow wire of the solenoid and see if it still starts - if so solenoid jammed in maybe !
