Jim,


I call this my anti-theft feature. My 72 Luxury LeMans refused to start years ago. I looked at the scematic and placed the car in neutral. It started. I have since done it that way and intend to keep it as an anti-theft feature. It works the same way as a standard transmission. Young idiots can't figure it out so they can't steal it.


As to the original post; follow Shiny and George. Split the circuit, find which half is bad, split it again until you find the culprit.
