Thought I would add a photo to show the old relay. After taking it apart and looking at the relay. I could have took the time and sanded the contacts and cleaned up the rust and had something that may or may not have continued to work. $22 for a new one gives me a little more assurance.
Bad relay. Test light lite every time key is turned on the ignition wire from key switch. Wire from NSS tested ground. Car turned over 100% of time when jumpering - using screw driver between + from battery and starter wire. Replaced relay, turns over every time now.
Just to recap. Before...
I'll start some more checking/testing. Check grounds, I'll jump the relay and see if it cranks, I'll test positive with key on at relay and test ground from NSS at relay. Easy stuff to test. I was hoping for an easy answer, but I'm right back before this post. Ha, electrical is never easy...
I should have mentioned it's an auto tranny. I think I'll also try jumping the relay. I just thought of this. Could it be the neutral safety switch in the console? Wouldn't that create a no crank situation. I know my shifter pulls pretty easy into reverse. Maybe that needs some adjusting...
I'll go through all the grounds again and see if it corrects it. Just thought someone may know some magic. But as I've always found, there is little magic when it comes to electrical issues. Usually only luck.
1964 Dodge Polara. Turn the key and 90% of the time it cranks right over. But 10% of the time turn the key and no crank. Can here a light click coming from somewhere (relay???). All battery and starter cables clean, tight and good. Sometimes if I hold the key to start it will start cranking...
1964 Dodge Polara 500. I pulled my gauge cluster as the temp gauge was not working. Turns out there was corrosion on one of the poles. I ordered a new temp gauge and decided to update the gauge circuit board, voltage limiter, the plug/twist light bulb sockets and the bulbs. Problem....Fire...
Thanks for all the help. I’m using a Sunoco blend. My car storage facility is next to a local airport that has 100LL. I’ll start with a different fuel mix and see. It does not have vacuum advance.
I have recently purchased a 64 Polara with a 426 Max Wedge. I am assuming it is stock from all indicators. My issue is that at hard throttle there is a small pinging/knocking. I'm running 105 octane and have my timing at around 10 advanced at idle and 30-31 total advance. I've tried...
