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 |

yes the 2 wires with the bullet connectors are what i'm talking about. so the red wire could be going to the alt before going to the battery? that would still give me continuity at the battery right?
as for moving the yellow wire, i don't think i did but i'll check it. if the wire is tight and intact, why would the reverse light wire make the key functional? could it be a neutral safety thing? i'll check the yellow wire, the ground strap and see if there is a drop but if the starter is bad, would i still be able to start the car using a jump switch\wire between the solenoid and the battery? also i have cleaned the battery terminals and ground strap and the battery is new. thanks for the help with this guys. as you can tell, i'm pretty green when it comes to this stuff. |
