March 17, 200817 yr Author comment_240962 The fuseable link wire? I get no power to that wire from the solenoid side of it (that side connects into the harness). The power goes into the solenoid and I get no power coming out of the fuseable link or when I turn the key to start from the spade connector. If I run a wire from the spade to the + on the batt the car will crank. Nothing in the car gets power with everything hooked up the way that It should be, unless I have that jumper to the coil. Anyone wanna send me a starter that I could give a try? . Would definatly save me some money from buying parts that I dont need..

March 18, 200817 yr comment_240972 Sounds like the starter solenoid connection has twisted apart inside where it can't be seen. That's why if you do a continuity check from the battery to either side of the fusible link you have no voltage. You already knew that wasn't right when it spun while trying to tighten it.

March 18, 200817 yr comment_240982 Try running a fused jumper to the big white wire mentioned in my last post. Geezer is onto something. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/27399-key-does-nothing/?&page=2#findComment-240982 Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 18, 200817 yr comment_241053 There is no mystery here. The 12V bat. feed that goes to the starter simply continues on and connects to the fusible link. It should be easy to find the problem.
