I can sorta test the switch; a hot start relay is installed , the hot start relay is also wired to a switch in the engine bay. With key “on”, the engine bay switch will start the motor. That helps narrow down the possibilities

With key “on”, the engine bay switch will start the motor. That helps narrow down the possibilities I do have a hot start relay installed. Could I turn the key and check for juice on the relay? Would that be an accurate way to test for it? |
