Van wont start
Hello
I'm trying to diagnose why my early 90's van wont start with the key.
checked battery - good
ignition module recently replaced
starter recently rebuilt
it wont start with the key though i can hear it click, but it will start and crank over if i cross the relay on the fender wall with the key turned.
Could it be its not getting correct power to the starter? bad solinoid? bad relay? or is there some sort of neutral saftey switch thats gone bad?
any help appreciated
thanx

Could be the solenoid on the fender. (cheap, easy) Otherwise maybe the starter switch is out of adjustment or bad. Maybe the wiring from switch to solenoid. It does run after you start it by crossing the solenoid, right?

Yes
it runs fine after crossing the solinoid but otherwise useless to try with the key.
I'm thinking either the solinoid on the fender is bad or the wirirng to the starter is bad, if the starter switch was bad wouldn't it not start at all even if i crossed the solinoid?
