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. |

see if you are getting 12v to the yellow lead with the key engaged to the start position. If not check the ignition switch and the interlock relay under the pass seat. If so then check the transmission ground strap and the positive cable connected to the battery and the starter
