help,turn key to start,no sound
my 92 svx happened from time to time,about 20-30% of time,
when i turn the key to start,all the lights show,but when turn key further to start,no sound at all. Before,i have to try again,and it usually starts after the 2-3 times. Today,i went up to the snow parking lot,0 degrees cel.,and take me 6-7 times to start. Is this the starter problem?or something else? Is someone has a spare for sale?Thanks.

Re: help,turn key to start,no sound
Could be the neutral safety switch, which is the mechanism that prevents starting the car in any drive gear. Try shifting into Neutral next time this happens and see if starts then.

It's either the ignition relay or the park-neutral safety switch. The ignition relay goes through your steering wheel and is a bugger to replace but not totally terrible. The park-neutral safety switch is located underneath your center console (like directly below the emergency brake) and probably easier to fix.. just depends on how easy it would be to move/remove the center console off. A while back, I had an ignition switch issue and with that fixed.. now, I think I too suffer from the neutral switch issue.

You need to fit a 30 amp Bosch relay to the starter solenoid that is on the starter motor. Any auto electrical shop will know what this is and fit it for you. This a link to the way it is fitted. http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/show...1&postcount=23 Harvey.
