I swapped electric starter/ ignition switch without taking the old one out of place physically, hooked in the new one in electrically, kept the key in the ignition and then bam! Nothing but indifference compared to the old switch.
I tried to check starter relays with a generic Bosch relay, but will that work for testing purposes? Not even sure which one it is on my relay panel in the passenger side under the hood box. Mine does not look exactly like pictures I’ve seen. Here is the configuration of my relay box shown.
With regards to checking the big fuse for the starter, what type and size fuse are they do I can get some spares? Do I just unbolt the fuse panel after a battery disconnect and then it’s reachable?
Thanks for all your help, but still needing more!
