Default troubleshooting starter selenoid wire
I seem to have a break in the wire from the ignition switch to the starter selenoid. Does anyone know the routing of that wire, and what to check for to determine where it is losing continuity?...thanks.

Default You'll need the Bentley Manual to do this. Electrical schematics are....
are important to have when hacking around. Without it you are gambling. Would need to take console off to do an electrical check on components.

replaced it (it was broken as most of them are when you are having trouble), but the new one made no difference.
