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 hope all you guys are still out there and are still following this thread. was a bit busy and off the 914 but back on with a few questions.
so after talking with george at auto atlanta, its amazing to me that he finds time to sleep he is always available with help and even saved me some $. anyway after talking with him decided to put a hot kit starter on my car to see if it would solve the problem. when it came i reviewed the instructions and i decided to see if i had continuity in the yellow wire coming out of the starter. i was able to establish continuity with the yelloy wire in the relay board bottom right plug, #6. i have continuity with the yellow and red striped wire under the passenger seat to the ignition. my question is should i have continuity with the yellow wire from the solenoid to the under seat relay yellow or is that only when i turn the key? also, just to confirm the blue wire from the hot start harness connects with the yellow wire that now goes to the solenoid black wire goes to the terminal the yellow wire went to and red to battery terminal. oh yes one more thing. there is a second spade terminal on the solenoid that is bare does not have anything connected is that the right solenoid? i'm a bit confused at this point as when i go back and reread my prior posts, i seem to have had continuity from the solenoid to the under seat relay. thanks ya'll for any help. |
