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.

Been watching this thread as i somehow killed mine between cleaning the underside of the motor (to try and find an oil leak) and doing some wiring of a gauge (through the tunnel) My car is modified with carbs and the wiring has been redone underneath - basically all of the wires running to the starter are "RED" - I am going to check the solution under the seat...i already replaced the relay and i have a new ground strap.

Does anyone have a wiring diagram / schematic on where the different leads are going, etc...just trying to trace it all back and understand where everything goes...any help or guidance is appreciated.

I ran the car for quite some time to "dry it" after cleaning and i had no issues...next day it wouldn't start...starter doesn't turn at all

Thanks

Attached is what the setup looks like - Relay is under the car, which seems odd to me...Attached Image Attached ImageAttached ImageAttached Image
