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 |

Your switch could be bad. Over time this is what happens when the current is carried through it to the starter. The fact that you are not getting power to the wire under the seat from the ignition switch is an indicator of this. You could test directly at the switch lead and even jiggle the switch once in the start position to see if the contacts inside will give you enough contact to read power at the terminal on the switch. Next thing to do is swap out your ign switch with another one. They are fairly cheap and should be replaced if it is the factory one. 914 rubber has one that they have put through tons of tests and is still going to my knowledge. AA, Amazon, and several others have an aftermarket one that works. If you want to go Porsche that is also an option, but haven't been found to be any more usable than an aftermarket.
