Padgett Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 What happens if you shake the shifter when trying to start. The shifter interlock can do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mlanes88 Posted December 20, 2021 Topic Author Share Posted December 20, 2021 Replaced, neural safety switch,coil pack,battery,starter ignition switch,key tumbler Then I realized that there was an aftermarket alarm that was removed and then this problem started. Coincidence I don't know but the three wires that go to the driver side locks are still poking out through the carpet even though the door lock still work electric and key another blank here I don't know what to do if anybody can help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turn on the headlights and try to start the car. Do the headlights go dim or completely off at the same time the dash goes black? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I tried to make this a stand alone topic. Seems like a couple of posts might have got lost in the process. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I think you will have to go through the yellow highlighted circuit below step by step to find why power isn't getting to the starter. I would start by checking the yellow wire going into the transaxle position switch to see if has power when the key is turned to the start position. If is does not the problem is with the ignition switch or the starter interrupt relay not being picked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 BTW, Don't worry about the dash lights and interior lights going out as being part of the problem. That is normal on my car when the key is turned to start... even if the gear selector isn't in Park or Neutral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padgett Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Triage is good. First run a jumper straight to the solenoid and see if anything happens. Then trace forward (nothing happens) or back (if starter responds) until you gat a change.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osseobob Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Sounds like a engine grounding issue. try cleaning the ground cables even the body ground cables Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
