Starter problem...
So...trying to start my car for the first time in a looooong time.
Got all the prep work done.
When I turn the key...nothing.
Checked that power was getting to the starter via the primary connection - OK
Checked power to the solenoid when the key was all the way turned....nothing.
Then checked the yellow wire at the 14 pole connector where the power first comes into the cdi box area - there is power there.
Checked the yellow wire as it comes into the second 14 pole connector - there is power there....but only if the connector is not connected????
When I connect the plug, I lose power to the yellow wire.
I can take the plastic cap off the top of the connector and hook the multi-meter directly the yellow wire coming out of the plug...no power. I can actually pull the wire out of the connector and put the multi-meter in the hole and get no power. This is the same hole I did get power from when the plug was not connected?
So, what could be causing this?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Rob
