I took my 914 to school today and everything was working fine. After school, I hop in the car and turn the key, nothing. The battery is charged, the starter works when shorted, but I cant get it to turn over using the key. The car still starts with a push start but nothing with the key. I checked all of the connections to the starter and the battery and everything is fine. Do you think that the ignition switch has gone out and if so is this an easy fix? I have other ignitions avalible, but I like that my keys work with the locks on the car. Help!!

Which poles are you shorting? If you short to starter motor, the starter will spin without engaging because that's bypassing the solenoid. Make sure you put the power to the solenoid terminal (big yellow wire).
Obvious disclaimer: make sure car is in neutral! |
