I have a 75 1.8L engine. A month ago the car started and ran just fine. Two weeks later the car would not start. The headlights come on but still doesn't start. I checked the battery, started motor, ground to the chassis, fuses, relay board, ignition coil and ignition switch. I can jump the starter motor with a screwdriver. I'm just not getting juice to the solenoid switch. Any suggestion

To add a bit more context, certain years of 914 have a circuit that uses an early form of occupancy sensing to check and see if the seatbelt is fastened.

If the seatbelts aren't fastened, there's a relay that will prevent power from the key from going to the starter. The relay that controls this is located under the passenger seat.

Since the area under the seats can see a lot of moisture and other nastiness, and since these cars are now well over 40 years old, those components have a habit of going bad.

The most-guaranteed fix for this problem is to remove the passenger seat, remove the relay, and splice the THICK yellow wire together with the THICK yellow and red striped wire. This will bypass the lockout and allow power to flow straight from the keyswitch to the engine bay.
