Checking power to the starter. Battery is connected and key/ignition is on at the first position. I have power to the big black wire. But the big red wire and the smaller one that clips to the solenoid (yellow one?)are dead. My 12 voltage check light does not come on. What makes power to those two wires? Does the car need to be running to light them up? Trying to figure out why some of my wiring melted. Thanks for the help.

Thanks Clay and Mark.
I have been having distributor/points issues (melting points wire) and had the wrong wires connected to the coil. I had the condenser wire to the + terminal instead of to the - side. I think(?) when I get the wires in the right place that should get me power to the yellow wire at the solenoid. Maybe? I hope. |
