Primary problem, cannot get ignition to turn starter. 

I have read all the forums, I pulled the neutral safety switch, ordered a new one (today) but I have conduction when in neutral measured across the yellow and purple wires. When I turn ignition I get 12.6 volts or so at the yellow wire. So I bypassed the safety switch and the bypass wire got really hot really quick and burned! So I cut some 4 gauge wire and spliced it between the yellow wire the the ignition wire coming up from the starter. Still nothing and the wire was getting hot! I have examined all the wires to and from the starter, I am getting 12.6 volts at the starter, there are the two other red wires attached to the primary post and then the ignition wire to the screw post. Starter does turn I ran direct leads from battery to starter and it turned...

Figured running the bypass wire would do it, bypass the short but no luck...

I am guess I have a short some where but for the life of me or my poor car I cannot find it, any suggestions???

Anyone live around Vero Beach Sebastian Florida area???

Thanks again

Steve

Glad you found it, electrical can be very frustrating, I just saw this post but would have said you must have bump'd or put a wire in the wrong spot.

 

Sometimes my wife will answer her own questions like that........those are great moments.....

Now go drive that thang!
