we are trying to start up my 430, but when we go to turn the key, nothing happens. however, when you try to jump the starter with a screw driver it turns over. so it must be something wrong with the wiring stuff. anyone have any diagrams or suggestions on how to figure this one out?
The "S" terminal on the starter solenoid must get 12 volts when the key is in the crank position. You may have reversed the "R" & "S" wires.
Here is a link to the 71 chassis manual wiring diagram for the ignition system: http://www.buickpartsdirectory.com/riv/starter_wiring001.jpg The picture is rather large, so I left it as a link that you click. EDIT: oops, wrong thread! But it fits, thats kinda funny:laugh:
