Car wont start (electrical reasons)
Car wont start (electrical reasons) I was doing some work under the dash to my clutch master cylinder and I think I bumped the wires, because now my car won't start! When I turn the key the headslights turn off, but the car doesn't even crank over. The dash lights and radio don't even flicker. It seems to me that the starter kill wire probably got disconnected (I have a DEI alarm). So I checked the yellow wire, and it is getting +12v when I turn the key. What else should I check?
Thanks

Re: Car wont start (electrical reasons) Check both sides of the relay. You might want to check your clutch switch harnes. <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[chug]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" />

Re: Car wont start (electrical reasons) Are you getting any "Security" lights on the dash? I had a problem like this, except the problem was due to the resistor chip in the ignition key. The reader for this in the lock went bad.
