20 amp inline fuse at battery 200 1989

Hi,

Is the solenoid drawing to much or the ignition switch bad? That’s my first question?

We need to put the neutral switch, on an automatic, in a different position, in case there is a short in the transmission switch?
I tell you this just in case there is a shorting happening while using the number three position of the ignition switch and you haven’t check this out! (?)

A WORD OF CAUTION ABOUT WHAT I’m GOING TO TELL YOU!
YOU MUST BE IN NEUTRAL WITH THE TRANSMISSION! No matter which type!


There is a wire, back by the firewall, near the oil dip stick, that can be used to bypass position three and the ignition start circuit through the fuse. It will roll the engines starter motor only!
You take a wire directly from the positive post of the battery to that wire and it closes the solenoid and then the main cables roll the starter motor.

Now, If the ignition key is left in position “two” the car should start. There is no fuse to blow but you will have to disconnect the starter upon starting or the starter will keep on going!

Just to see if the car starts this way before going electrical hunting!

I have a whole bunch of other things to work through but after trying to write that stuff up, I decided to KISS it!

Phil
