Driving my car daily, I am encountering the "typical" small agitations that 22 year old sports car owners encounter ... so I am working out the bugs. The most recent is one that I would like some advice on. I am sure it is something not that this will not be complicated to repair, but reading some of the past responses in the message files on ignition and starting issues, I know that it could not hurt to ask all of you about the connection between the ignition switch and the starter. Here is what is happening. I insert the key, turn to first position, and everything activates as normal... Dashboard indicators come on (seat belt indicator light, oil light, and battery light come on), I hear the fuel pump and other things clicking on, and the consol lights up ... all normal. Now, I turn the key to activate the starter, and the consol lights GO OUT COMPLETELY, and I hear a discernable "CLICK", and the starter does NOT activate. When I return the key to the run position, I hear the "click" again. Ken in Cincinnati informed me of the #1 and #7 fuse ... making certain that there is a connection, and that power is going to them. He mentioned a "bypass fix" that I will investigate. Is there anything in the steering column around the ignition switch that I must pay attention to? I will be investing in an owner's manual. At the moment, I am working on my own visual observation. I am very satisfied with my car .. and willing to learn about it as I continue to drive it. Please let me know your thoughts.
