Re: [DML] Starting problem?

[Warren Wallingford <warren@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Absolutely Nothing?  No clicks or groans or smoke?  Strange.  Start by 
making sure the starter wiring modification has been done.  What's the 
VIN?  Then get a test light and a helper.  Go to the red and white wire 
on the solenoid at the starter and tell your lieutenant to start the 
car.  If the wire goes hot, you need a starter.  If not, chase it back. 
  The next place is the relay.
