Wildman Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Do your parking lights, lighter or dome lights work??? Those are not thru the ignition switch, there "hot" all the time. Also......the Key switch, pushes a rod to the ignition switch, located at the base of the steering column. Like two different "ignition" switches. Pull the plastic loom off the battery cables, and check them for any missing insulation, or corrosion. The fusible link is off the starter relay (near the battery), back to the right hand tower (where the 3 or 4 relays are) you'll feel it in the wire, a lump, and pull on it, if it comes apart, the link is shot. Here's a link that might help you out - http://www.lunghd.com/Tech_Articles/Ele ... straps.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
