Starter Circuit Test

I did the dash amp meter bypass (tied the two together) – I have a new starter relay and the motor/tranny is out of the car.

I am trying to test to make sure my new starter works, does the body of the starter need to be grounded in order for me to click the starter over?

I have an alligator clip going from the NSS relay terminal to ground, there is no drive train in the car, I am just testing to see if things work, the starter is laying on a couple of cardboard boxes hooked up.

When I try to click the starter over nothing happens.

I also removed the 2 wire resistor (tied together) because I have a new ignition, and bypassed the alternator regulator because I have a new internally regulated alternator. Could the wiring going to the resistor or old alternator regulator cause the starter not to work?

I am confused on this one.

I am thinking it could be in my bulkhead or my ignition switch.

How can I test with my mulitmeter if my starter is working at the relay?

Any suggestions appreciated.

You need the starter solenoid terminal from the NSS hooked to the solenoid, ground the body of the starter to the Neg on the battery and of coarse you need the main positive cable as well to be hooked to the starter.

Hey thanks! Yep, I had the NSS to ground and should have been to the starter solenoid.

That worked - Starter is ready for action! Now all I need is a motor in the hole.

Thanks again, this forum rocks.
