  • Ignition circuit problem

    UPDATE to my original post:

    The car is running again.

    In checking all the connections in the starter circuit, I found that the connectors on both the S and I terminals of the starter relay were just a bit loose, so I tightened them up, cleaned the battery terminals and she fired right up!

    Thanks for the help!

    Thanks everyone for all the good suggestions and advice. You're correct, 289kford, it's a starter issue not ignition...although I did buy a new ignition switch and spacer just to eliminate that as a possible source of the problem.

    I will start stepping through these tomorrow and post an update later.

    My Kar is a 4-speed.

  • Ignition circuit problem

    Hi,

    I am looking for some help with debugging electrical problems...specifically ignition circuit.

    I have a 65 GT Fastback and have been driving the Kar often and it was running great. Then one day the ignition system just stopped working...no solenoid click, nothing. The battery is fully charged.

    I'm hoping someone has had similar problems and maybe shared some things to look for as the Kulprit!

    Hi - hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!

    Where is the best place to post 'How To' questions about debugging electrical problems...specifically ignition circuit?

    ps. I've been sitting on this issue for a couple of months now while dealing with the virus sheltering in place. I'm in the SF Bay Area.
