skiiirt Posted September 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 OK. Thanks for the info guys. I have a feeling its that neutral safety switch. I have tried more times than I felt comfortable shifting my tranny in between Park and Neutral in an effort to start it. All the wires at the Ignition Switch appear to have power and I suspect something else along the way I just bought a AC Delco battery and all the terminals are sparkling (Side mounted terminals) We tried boosting from the aux terminal because nobody had tools to rip apart the car so I could boost the direct terminals. We boosted with a F-350 and a Dodge LeBaron. No corrosion, no rust on ther actual terminals in the battery, they are attatched to the battery snugly. I took the battery out, cleaned the terminals with a little TLC and baking soda/water. I also had the starter replaced just under a year ago. So I GUESS it could be the selenoid or even the starter. I have it in the shop where I trust the mechanic and he knows his shit. Hopefully by 4:30 he will have solved my starting blues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiiirt Posted September 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Ok so apparently it was the P/N Safetey switch. Too bad napa sucks balls and couldnt get the part to my mechanic in time. He is gunna open up tomorrow for an hour so he can replace the switch. No more fucking around. Thanks for your help guys! My TGP does the EXACT same thing. I'll drive around for an hour, stopping at a few places, and it has no problem when I come back. Then, out of no where, it's just as you described. Nothing.... I would definately have that P/N safety switch checked out man. Sucks having a car stranded. I think I am going to start a tow-truck company!

skiiirt Posted September 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 So now my Fuel Pump is apparently not working. The car is cranking but now there is a fuel problem Does anyone know if anything in the Ignition Switch controls the fuel pump? Maybe I knocked something loose under the dash that is causing my fuel pump to not start up? Im going broke fixing and re-fixing problems!

Supreme Cutlass Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 Is it possible that the mechanic messed something up? Maybe you could get a repair out of it... I think that when you turn the key it turns on the fuel pump to put pressure in the lines, but that's the extent of my knowledge that might help you.

skiiirt Posted September 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 The only thing this mechanic has touched has been the P/N Safety Switch. And if and while he was there I do not know if he could have done something. But he seems to think it is a problem relating to my install of the Ignition Switch. Which by all means it could have been *** UPDATE # 2 *** Turns out to be a blown fuse. Everything works great! I also have Accessory once again!
