Hello teeners
Looking for some advice please I have a 72 V8 conversion (I Know not a real 14) Really fun to drive I just tried to start it and I do get power to dash and radio but the fule pump cuts out and no crank when I turn the key to the full starting position. The 2 things I have notice 1 Battery was low (Now Charging) 2 No cranking no clicking nothing. 3 Fuel pump cuts out 4 flashers tied to the e-brake keep flashing could it be the e-brake sensor? Clutch sensor/switch? Starter? ignition switch? Checked all relays and fuses I can find All seem good. Thanks Mike |

Hello

I removed seat to check realy and found this...should it cut the connecton off and jump the 2 wires together?

I am sorry to tell you now that the seats slide off the rails: you don’t have to unbolt them. Did you disconnect the seat wire or did you find it that way?

Thanks Yes they do slide forward but I was looking for a relay under the seat and needed the room. I found it disconnected I will cut it off and jump the leads together. Thanks |

Thanks There's a little spring stop on the one seat rail, press it and the seat slides forward right off the rails. Then you can you pull the seat right out of the car in seconds. Hard to feel, first few times you have to get a flashlight and look down the front of the rail to see how it works. |
