my bird wont start
Is it the A/T switch or is it something really serious. When you turn the ignition switch to the first click, does anything happen? Check for 12v on the switch and check the A/T switch for continuity (if you have this switch) Those big relays rarely go bad. Are you getting 12 volts to the starter? and the starter relay? do you have a front rear ignition switch? I have seen this switch literally blow up from lack of use and corrosion.
