RE: Starting problem

[Gary <mopar413@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The bulk head connector is on the fire wall.  You need to look for a big black wire and a big red wire.  One or the other is probably burnt in the bulk head.  You can disconect the bulk head where are the wire go into the fire wall.  You should then be able to tell if one is burnt.  If it is burnt there will be no juice to the switch.  Just cut the wire and sspice in a new piece.  Using the same size wire. Then test with a testor.  One with the light in it.    Ground the tester then touch the bare part of the wire and see ifyou have juice.  Then go to the other side and see if it has juice. If not you have found the problem.
