Restoring 1974 914 1.8 liter L Jetronic. No starter response to ignition switch. Replaced original starter - no luck. Installed Bosch Starter Relay Hot Start Kit - No luck. Cleaned ground connections to transmission ground strap - no luck. Any suggestions?
If not obvious, I am like a monkey with a iPhone when it comes to auto electronics. |

Does the starter turn when you short the solenoid positive to the starter positive with an insulated screwdriver? If so, you know the starter is good.
If not, does it do it out of the car with jumper cables? If so, then you have a wiring/switch problem. If not, you have a bad starter. Some deftness with a multi-meter (and a friend to work the starter switch) would help in all this. |
