Not getting power from key to starter, can jump power and start engine but not from key Options

[Type 47]

We've been trying to figure this out for a couple of days. The car was converted to carbs by the PO and was running and starting fine before I took it apart.

Now, nothing happens when key is in start position but we can start if we touch pole 2 (powering fuel pump) and 4 together from open FI harness plug receptacle.

pole 1 being drivers front, 2 passenger front, 3 drivers rear, 4 passenger rear.

one other difference is that now using a Carter fuel pump versus the Faucet that was originally on the car.

Here is the relay board schematic



When key is in start position you should have 12v coming into the board on the top pin 1

And it then goes out to pin 6 to the starter. Via trace on the board.

Both are the fat yellow wire

If I understand the 4 terminal FI plug as you’ve labeled them - you are basically jumping 12v from the power supply relay to the starter motor pin 6

Eventually if you keep doing this you may damage the relay board. The trace from the relay to what your calling pin 2 isn’t sized to support the current your probably drawing through it.

You need to figure out why you don’t have 12v coming into the board from the cabin / ignition switch on the big yellow wire on pin 1

Probably a faulty ignition switch or possibly you have disturbed or haven’t properly bypassed the seat belt interlock relay below the passenger seat.

Not sure why your relay board has a 1980 date stamp on it? Possibly rebuilt by someone?

@Superhawk996

I have seen several relay boards with 80's date stamped. I think they were new replacements at that time.
