Re: ignition relay location?

From your other posts on this issue, I wouldnt suspect the relay itself..... if the problem started after removing and installing the transmission, then I would suspect a switch or lead that is disconnected. You made sure the signal wire was hooked up to the starter right? (smaller 12V wire)

Re: ignition relay location?

ya little black rectangle plug that fits on it. so if the cable isnt the issue and the relay is, where is the relay? supposedly under the dash but there really isnt anything to spot... then again i'm not sure what exactly that relay looks like

the term "behind left I/P" keeps coming up but whats I/P?

Re: ignition relay location?

test the circuit out! Is a fool proof way to "guess" what you need to do to fix it!

It HAS to be related to what you just did..... your Park/Neutral switch is probably not hooked up or isnt adjusted or is dirty. If this all started when you pulled it all apart, you have to start there. The other possibility is the ignition switch but having yanked the transmission I would definitely go back over your selector switch again....
