Went out for a cruise this evening, no starty. I noticed last weekend that when I turned the key there was a delay before the engine actually turned over. That is, I turned the key to starting position and there was a 3 second delay before any response from the starter. Tonight, nothing. Batteries are charged. It is either the switch, the starter or the wires in between. I have a feeling it's the switch. Anyone else with this issue? Craig C. |

If you hear a click from the engine when you turn the key, check the start relay contacts. |

> ... Just silence... Then check the neutral safety switch in the shifter, and check the safety lanyard switch. If they are good, at the keyswitch check for +12 on the start contact (yel/red wire on mine and I think the contact is labeled S). If that's good, find the start relay (under a black plastic cover above the starboard riser on my 5.7GSi). It's a conventional water-resistant plugin relay behind the engine circuit breakers. Check continuity of its coil (or just replace it at the risk of not needing to). |
