Okay so my wrench called last night. Car was all finished & he went to fire it up. Turns over fine but no start. This is what it was doing before the fire. Also off & on it has plagued me since I got the car. I've replaced the ignition with multiple times. I added a push button for the starter to take that off the switch. Seemed like there was to much power going through it which I thought was from the starter. Obviously it is not.
One thing is almost without fail as soon as I put in a new switch & use it I get smoke from it every time. It would be fine right after the brief smoke so I didnt worry to much about it. What else is feeding the ignition switch that may be pushing to much power through it? What do you guys recommend doing here? Cutting out the switch completely? Do you think the problem lies somewhere besides the switch? |

Factory ground post is on the inner rear fender, right next to the ground post of the battery.
Bend way over and look up high, its hard to see and way under the rain cover. From there, the factory ground strap is bolted to the bottom of the rear trunk directly above the rear of the transmission, so it bolts to one of the rear tranny cover bolts. That gets you your body ground and engine ground. Everything on the car, with the exception of the starter, is grounded off the chassis. There are dedicated grounds for most circuits. Rich |
