Starter wire question- '79 FC 33'
Bruce, It appears that you either have a bad ign. switch, or a bad solenoid. If you have a good, (hot) wire from the batt.to the solenoid, which you do, and a good hot wire to the starter, which you do, because you have been able to jump across it and start the vehicle. Gregg is right on. If the redwire that you found that is cold when the switch is off, yet is energized when you turn the switch on, (to start position), it sounds like that your ign. switch is OK. That leaves you with a bad soleniod. That explains why you can manually jump across the solenoid with a screwdriver. Itsfunction is to allow you to sit in the comfort of your seat, and get her running, via sending power from the batts., to the solenoid, across the solenoid. then to the starter. There can be other wires feeding off the hot or batt. side of the solenoid. I am puzzled as to why when you touch the small red wire to the small nut on the solenoid, as to why your buzzer cuts off, maybe it is grounding out. I would check for a bad solenoid, and then a bad ign.switch. The solenoid may have caused a problem with the switch, after it went bad. Hope this helps, George Burke 1977 FC31 Charlotte
