IBZINYA Posted May 24, 2009 Author Share #15 Posted May 24, 2009 I have a new update to this thread... Im more confused than ever, which means I can now be clasified as "incompetent". I think my problem is in the ( Ignition Interlock Unit). I have replaced and cleaned and replaced and cleaned and on and on... NO LUCK! Anyone own an "Ignition Interlock checker"... Im not kidding, there is actually a component for this in the factory repair manual. I think I will try unpluging the seat switches after INDY and see what happens... wish me luck.

SteveJ Posted May 25, 2009 Share #16 Posted May 25, 2009 I guess it's time for me to start digging into the FSM for a 260Z and look to see how that is bypassed. Unfortunately, the nanny state had a wonderful idea for the 1974 model year that if people shouldn't be able to start their cars unless the seatbelts were fastened. The apocryphal stories have it that people had to put the seatbelt around the bag of groceries they placed in the passenger seat in order to operate their cars. Somehow, I don't think it would be that difficult to bypass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beezee Posted May 25, 2009 Share #17 Posted May 25, 2009 Locate the interlock relay on the firewall , connect the black with yellow tracer (ignition switch "S" terminal) to yellow wire to starter solenoid to bypass the interlock unit circuit. Now she,ll be reliable. This is a direct connection from the key switch to the starter solenoid . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveJ Posted May 25, 2009 Share #18 Posted May 25, 2009 Thanks, I'll have to do that some day on my 260Z. I haven't had trouble with it, yet. By the way, how far are you from Milton? I'll have to be up there for almost 3 weeks starting Tuesday. Are there any interesting car-nut events happening in that timeframe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beezee Posted May 25, 2009 Share #19 Posted May 25, 2009 I,m about an hour from Milton , 30 minutes north of Pearson airport. There,s a cruise night almost every night in the greater Toronto area , I,m just getting ready to check a few out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zs-ondabrain Posted May 25, 2009 Share #22 Posted May 25, 2009 (edited) Hey Now. I've NEVER proclaimed myself to be an Electrical Genius. That's what all the other guys usually say. And as always, I tell them NOPE, I'm just a guy that tries my best to figure out what the hell those crazy Japanese were thinking when they designed the electrical harness's in these cars.And being as how I also have a 260Z, I'd follow what BEEZEE said about bypassing the relay. And who the hell can focus on anything after a pint of CR??? Not Me.Dave. Edited May 25, 2009 by Zs-ondabrain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
