94 Cavalier, No start power to nuetral safety switch
Replaced starter with internal short. No start. Jumped power to yellow input wire of neutral safety switch and it starts but turning key to start is not getting power to switch. Maybe a fusible link or relay in start circuit. Noted that when car is running the abs light is on and brake light is flashing; Also with key on heater is not working but its fuse is ok. I am at the point of having to start taking the wiring harness apart and tracing wires, so I'm really hoping to hit on some help before this path to a fix. Thanks in advance Grayelve

check the fuses by the starter, and the ign switch

94 Cavalier, No start power to nuetral safety switch
Thanks chevyastro4x4, that section of harness is in a hard spot, first looks I see no line fuses, maybe inside of harness in that area. Will dig in further today, I just really am trying to avoid taking the dash apart to track down wires. As always, Gee why didn't I see that. Thanks Grayelve

Need a print
Hi All ... 50 looks is good ... no fix yet. Astro, I checked the wires at the starter and the fuses are good. Sure could use a print to trace these wires, anybody got one they could scan and email, need the wire colors. There sems as though there must be a common thing with this problen of no start, no power to neutral sfety switch, no power to heater fuse in fuse block, and the asb relay is not picking up. At the key there is one of 2 plugs that has heavy red, yellow, and orange wires. Red always hot, key on nothing on orange or yellow, key to start hot goes to orange. Whoa! Same size yellow wire goes to neutral safety but the key is switching power to orange. Now I need a brain break and a print or I'm into opening up the wire harness and tracing wires. Sure could use some help. Thanks from Grayelve

PS- I traded my 59 Rambler with a fellow there for his 57 Triumph TR3 and ended traveling most all over the country in it for a couple a few years. Just a little aside thought. grins_

i'm glad i was able to help you
