Today wife was leaving for a funeral and it wouldn't crank, wouldn't start. Sooo...
I shifted to Neutral and car wouldn't start
I tested the battery, 12V, but I put it on a slow charge anyway.
I tested the battery to starter wire, 12V.
I checked all the fuses under the hood and in the passenger compartment. They are all fine.
I pulled the starter relay. 12V activates the switch, and when switch is closed there is continuity across the switch.
I turned the key to on and jumped the relay switch, the engine cranked. I turned the key to start and the engine started.
All of that has led me to believe the following items are fine. Battery, Starter and Solenoid, Relay, Ignition switch mostly because when I turned the key to start it fired right up. That leaves only one other item I can think of, the neutral safety switch.
Is there anything else I could be missing?
Rant time. Designing a car so that you have to rip out the center console, radio, heater controls, gearshift head and gearshift cover to get to a starter relay is horse crap.
Anyway appreciate any other ideas. I would hate to have to start it up and take it to a shop for something I am simply not thinking about.
