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 |

ok guys here is a bit of an up date. i cleaned the trans ground and all the wires to the starter. the yellow has continuity from the starter to the under seat splice with the yellow/red stripe wire and the connection between the 2 are good.
at the starter, i have 14 V and with a load, 13.4 V. after doing this i decided i'd try the two wires that should be going to the trans for... reverse lights? i jumped the grey/red stripe to the terminal on the solenoid which has the yellow wire attached and the key works. i removed it and no start, replaced it and the key works. these wires do go to the trans because i located the plug but when they are plugged in nothing changes. the grey/red stripe wire has continuity with the pole on the ignition switch marked "S" the grey with a pole marked "P". so what is the deal here? what else can i check or do? should i just run a new wire from the solenoid to the ignition switch pole marked "S"? it seems like it would fix the issue but what is the problem causing this? thanks again for your help. tomorrow i'm gonna order the ignition circuit pamphlet from auto atlanta but i'd sure like to find a schematic before that comes in the mil. its driving me crazy! |
