have you tried to jump the starter siloniod by the battery?

matthewcowan

i have never done that, hows it done, thanks for the help

slo93aod

you can do it two ways:

1. put ignition key in and turn forward to the on position, just were all the dash lights come on
2. Then pop the hood and take a screw driver and jump the two large post coming of the siloniod by the battery (dont be scared it wont shock you)
or
1. same as #1 above
2. open the hood and jump the small lead on the top of the siloniod with the larger post that is closest to the firewall or seating area.

if the car starts buy another siloniod
