ignition switch, no start Options

[doobie123]

hi all,
just received a new ignition switch from auto atlanta, those guys are great!

installed it but still no start. the car will start by jumping the battery to the solenoid with the key in the run position but still wont start with just the key. i should say that i have not put the rest of the steering wheel/ directional switch back together in case it did not work.
could this effect it?
also it looks like someone before me took the large yellow and yellow/red stripe wire under the passenger seat and hooked them together to bypass the seat belt switch. in addition that relay under the seat and the wires going to it are in bad shape and the mount for the relay has rusted.
i'm looking for any suggestions that i could try so please, any help would be great.
thanks

Any ford relay will work, 1970 ford galaxy, usually run about $20-30.

As for the "magic button start" I'm not sure. I had one in my last 914 because the ign switch was broken. He already has the relay which was good. That was the first thing I removed. I think even my latest one had it too lol. Anyway, post some pics of what you have hooked into the switch. I don't know what type of injection you have, but I do recall at least 2 additional wires going to the battery for relay board and clock maybe. The continuity test will help you determine the flow to your switch. The wires goes from your ignition switch start terminal to the relay board and then from there to the starter selinoid. If you can test at the starter to your switch then at least you know that path is good.
