No Start Red Blue Wire

Post by Aubrey3 »

I have no start. Dead nothing. Got a couple of questions.

Battery is good. Power in the On position is good. I switched the Run and Ignition wires at the solenoid and the engine cranks. So I'm not getting power on the red/blue wire that energizes the solenoid to crank. The bulkhead connector is solid (although could be the fault).

How do you get the ignition out of the dash?
Is there a fuse on the Start red/blue wire?
Is there something other than the ignition, the wire run and the bulk head connector that I should check?

From the start position on the ignition switch through whatever neutral safety setup you have at the column to the solenoid. Black / blue is reverse lamps at the column plug.

Ah! I don't know why I didn't think of that. It's that switch. If I don't get it moved to Park with purpose it won't work. Been a crazy week I guess. Thanks for the reminder.
