If you are only getting 10 volts at the dash (and therefore the Ignition Switch), you need to start there. If you check the voltage right at the battery posts, what do you get?

The 10 volts is showing on my volt meter on the dash.I can shortcut the starter solenoid and start the engine, it just will not start when I turn the key switch.

Terry,
I forgot to mention the NSS ()neutral safety switch). It's on the trans and will open the circuit from the ignition switch to the start relay if you aren't in neutral or the switch is bad. Ohm it out to check. I saw your other post. 10 volts is bad. Where did you get that reading? Are your battery terminals clean? Are your cables in good shape? |

Terry,
Get the VOM (volt Ohm meter) out and see if you are getting 12 volts to the starter relay (solenoid) when you turn the key. If you are, make sure the solenoid has a good ground to it's base. If not, see if you are getting the 12 volts out of the ignition switch. If you are, there's a wiring problem. If not, you ether have a bad switch or no 12 volts going to the switch. Get back to us with the results. |

I have a 1984 Nautique that will not engage the starter when I turn the switch. I can cross the solenoid and it will engage the stater. Is the problem my switch or the solenoid?
