Started a new thread to avoid the moderator issue.



Further update.The battery is putting out 12.6 volts without the engine
running. I connected up the all the contacts on the FIA switch (hopefully
correctly). All lights, indicators, horn etc are working fine.

 All I get now when I push the starter button is one single click and
nothing. Its like when you have a flat battery.

 Is there a way I can test the starter?

 The solenoid does not have the push button

 Does it matter which way the ignition switch is wired??
 BTW. The ignition switch I have appears to be totally unfit for purpose in
the sense that it is virtually impossible to make a good connection when
trying to put two wires into the very small space available under the
screws.
