Ground this tab with red line in it. if car doesn't it's the relay, if it cranks NSS or a wire problem.
Is the starter relay the problem?
- Thread starter rickseeman
- Start date
We replaced the starter relay but it didn't change anything. What is the easiest way to test the neutral safety switch? I have a 1 pole (threaded stud) NSS in a bag here that says 65-68. And then I have a 3 smooth pin NSS but I don't know what year it's for. Thanks for the help.
Put an ohm meter to the wire going to the NSS
Did you ground the terminal shown in post #21?
I have the final verdict. The FSM said the middle pin is the NSS and the outer pins are the back up lights. Well, a day or 2 ago we noticed every light out side the car worked except the back up lights. That was the smoking gun. I climbed under there and tested the NSS any way. It was bad. I found one in my stash and put it on. Cranked right up and now the world is a better place to live. Thanks to everyone for your help on this.
Good to see that's over with. In retrospect, a guy could have clamped a test light on the positive postof the battery, and put it to the nss wire at the relay. It would light up in p and n if all was good to go
But that's the problem, I don't know any of that. I'm kinda a Noob at electrics.
Well this was handy, thank you. Since I've had an intermittent issue I went to look at that connection. I guess decades ago someone jumped it to the relay mounting bolt to ground it out (NSS is not plugged in if its even there, future project). I disconnected it and as expected no start at all. Cleaned the connector and used a jumper wire to ground it directly to the battery and it went back to intermittently bad. So I guess safe to say there is a relay issue in my case.
