Lol thanks. It has been keeping me up nights for the past few weeks ;) I did remove the seats and such and there is a connector on the drivers side seat belt but I reconnected it. I bought the car purely to resell, I knew it had been sitting for 8 years and while it was in excellent condition, it needed some major cleaning which is why I had to take the carpet out to totally clean it. So I wasn't quite sure the condition of the starter or switch to start off with. I don't like selling bad cars so I figured what the hell. (On the other hand, I found out the condition of the fly wheel and... it's bad). There aren't any more parts to throw at it so I am done there :) It has to be either a fusible link which I can't seem to find or the neutral safety switch. The connector is pretty tight into the shifter so I am fairly certain it's not the neutral safety switch. That only leaves me with the awful fusible link. They're easy enough to find in the Chevelle but it's like going into hell on this car.
On the other hand I have toned the wire coming off of the starter (toned it from the starter to the neutral safety switch), the battery cable (from the batt to the starter), which leaves only two red wires. I found one of them last night and toned that which leaves one red wire. If I find that... it shouldn't tone. The wiring diagrams only show one wire with a fusible so they are no help either. Fun fun fun :) I'll try posting there, thanks for the advice! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Schaefer Sent: Tuesday, April 26, 2005 6:50 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] camaro article - ignore couldn't ignore it! I laid awake all night thinking about it :D . If you removed carpet, you had to remove seats. Is there a seat belt or seat interlock that you didn't reconnect? Also why would yopu think that the starter switch would go bad just sitting there? I can see you possibly blowing the fusible link while working on the car, but I can't imagine anything you did effecting the switch. Just suggesting that you not throw parts at a problem. There is a systematic troubleshooting procedure for almost any problem ( listen to me talk here). You can save time & money if you take things one step at a time. Try posting your non-start problem a the electrical forum of chevelle tech, both John Mutha & Elree Colby REALLY know their stuff.
