No ignition, but all other electronics work

Alrighty, so I put my Berlinetta wiring back in seeing it is going to be a long long time before I can complete the swap so I'm just putting the car back on the road till most likely the beggining of June. Now then, I hooked up all the wires I had unplugged, radio works, headlights work, I can hear my fuel pump buzz, the ignition rings like it should. I turn the key, everything cuts out like usual but the starter doesn't kick in. Not a peep from it. I already checked fuses, none are burnt out, the starter has all the wires connected to it. This car has never given problems with starting, this is kind of unique for it.

No Ignition? No Good !

Throw a voltmeter on the S terminal with long leads so you can bring it into the cockpit.

Try to start the car.

What’s the voltage?


Happy Racing!

Re: No Ignition? No Good !

I wasn't testing the numbers, my buddy was doing it, but I saw something on the meter, whatever it is, like 15.xx I don't know if those are volts. But I think its a bad wire, possibly a rodent getting to it, they are always climbing in and out of the car, and its happened to other cars of mine as well. The starter works when I just hook the switch terminal right to the battery. Cars turns over and runs fine, and the key shuts it off. So no big deal seeing I need a new engine harness anyways. Until then, I'm just gonna rig the starter somehow.
