Hi,thanks for the response. I am pretty sure it's not the batt because the car power comes from the same terminal on the starter and that works. Now the collar on the steering wheel... my car is a 4 speed does it still have that collar switch. And I know it has a neutral safety switch, where is it located? Somewhere around the clutch? When the car was operating properly you had to depress the clutch for it to turn over. Also, is there a way to test the solenoid. Thanks Pete
