Restoring 1974 914 1.8 liter L Jetronic. No starter response to ignition switch. Replaced original starter - no luck. Installed Bosch Starter Relay Hot Start Kit - No luck. Cleaned ground connections to transmission ground strap - no luck. Any suggestions?
If not obvious, I am like a monkey with a iPhone when it comes to auto electronics. |

Cracked ignition switch is one of the most common causes of this. The old screwdriver trick at the starter could answer a lot in 30 seconds. Always test things before throwing parts at it. It's rarely the starter.
