Ok, Yesterday went to a cruise night with the family, when we go to leave the car won't crank. No solenoind clicking noise, nothing at all... Starter has not acted up beforehand so I don't think that is the problem. However we were able to bump start it to get us home (thankfully as we were 45 miles from home)...
I want to get this narrowed down tonight so here is what I have tired, am thinking, or need help with:
1. Fuses: Checked all 3 40A fuses in the underhood panel and all are good.
2. Clutch safety switch: I bypassed it jsut to be sure (cut the wires and twisted them together). No change.
3. Starter Relay: haven't checked it as I didn't know which it was. It is suspect as it still has factory white paint on it and I don't recall hearing any clicking from it at all. Can I use my horn relay in it's place to test one/both?
4. Ignition Switch, How can I test this?
5. Starter has two wires going to it right? One constant positive and one switched positive right? So I could always do a bypass wire to check that it is not the starter right? Then potentially just do a wire through a fuse ans switch to have a starter button rather than using the key right?
Anything else?
Thanks!!!
