Re: I'm stuck in a parking lot - starter relay?

[Jimmy Peavy <peaver63@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If the neutral switch is bad, it will do the same thing.
The neutral switch is the ground for the relay.
Zero ground, means zero operating relay.
When you jumped the relay, you bypassed the ground via bypassing the 
neutral switch.

Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person. That is, send parts/car transactions and negotiations as well as other personal messages only to the intended recipient, not to the Clubhouse public address. This practice will protect your privacy, reduce the total volume of mail and fine tune the content signal to Mopar topic.  Thanks!
