Subject:      Oops...forgot, I also have a problem
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

List, Oops forgot "Critter" also has one of those funny intermittent problems. On six occasions in the last few months, when turning the key to the start position, the normal dash lights blink, the fuel pump pumps but the starter does not engage... just silence. Seems I have normal electricity everywhere. I tore into the whole starter electrical system and found no faults and finally gave up and started on the ignition wiring. All of a sudden starter worked. Strangely, the next few times it happened just leaving it set also cured the problem. I have found no faults.

Could it be the ignition switch that is going bad? I have heard they have the reputation they are a weak link.... Rod 85 SubyWesty "Critter"
