cjhardcore addict Registered: July 02nd 2005 12:00 pm Posts: 509 Loc: Lakewood, WA	Not a dead battery, checked that but had to run to work. When i get home, what should i be checking first. I know that i have a whole mess of things that need work on the electrical side of things (half the guages in the dash do not work). I have a tester and the diagrams but which way do i start working from...the battery towards the starter and onto the ignition or is it vice versa? _________________________

If it does, you may have a bad neutral safety switch. The safety switch provides the ground for the starter relay. _________________________ Nate Breece (Nate the skate) 2% North Chesapeake Bay Vans A-100 Van Association Honorary Canadian(You Hoser!) -------------- 1994 Dodge B250 Elk Conversion (5.2L/A518) 1985 Dodge B150 "Burnin' Desire" (5.2L/A727)

I think I need to make a sticky thread for the mid-dodge owners about the electric system on those rolling piles of misery.
