Ahh, how much do you want to bet its the fusable links to the starter solenoid. ;)


Why is everyone having that problem now? I had it on the coldest morning of this past winter!

Scott, crawl up under there, look at the wires going to the solenoid. There are little red wires aside from the large hot wire. The thin wires have a weird setup. Two merge into one, and one splits into two wires, or something like that. Make sure there are no bare wires touching each other, or no wires seperated and dangling freely.

It will cause strange electrical conditions, such as no starter, no instrument lights or radio or ignition powered accessories, strangely operating door chime, but the dome light and floor lights will still light and stuff. Thats how mine acted. Didnt make any sense.

I was so baffled that morning, and had to get to work, that I called John Spina (Caspers Elec.) to get some ideas. I thought I had some really major problem at first. I had checked everything that you would normally check like fuses, wires, etc. He mentioned two things, and the first one was right.

Then I bugged the heck out of Steve Kaminski to figure out which wires connected to each other and where. Got it fixed right up, all before the temperature could even climb to 10 degrees.
