February 13, 20224 yr 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?
February 13, 20224 yr 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
February 13, 20224 yr 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.
