I'm trying to fix a problem where my starter is getting constant power from the battery. Everything was fine, and then out of no where the starter just keeps running. The bendix isn't kicking out and trying to crank over the motor- it's just running.
I looked over the relay board since I searched first and noticed another recent thread on this- but my 14-pin and 12-pin connectors are fine. The ignition switch however has been broken since I bought the car. The tumbler comes out on the key. So I figure now is a good time to replace it anyway. So I dug through my many tubs holding pieces and parts from several parts cars and I indeed found a steering column with an ignition switch in it that I actually have a key for. Problem is- it's a late model so it's not a direct swap. So what I need to know is- which wire goes where when I re-wire this thing? Anybody know? |
