pksjeep Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 The car is 1986 brat, The key/switch will not turn the engine over. I can jump the starter, with the switch on and the car will run as normal. I do get power thru the switch when it is in the start position using a test light. All the fuses and fusible links show good on both sides with a test light. Is there a starter relay? If so, where is it and what does it look like?

el_freddo Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 No starter relay. Your ignition switch could have a dead starter circuit. If you have a spare one available you could diagnose the issue quite easily. Cheers Bennie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 If it is wired similar to the 86 -93 wagons I have had, there is a high resistance connection somewhere in the start wire. A test light won't show it. Many of us fix it by installing a relay to handle the current to the solenoid on the starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
