See if the OIL/GEN lights come on.


You can jumper the starter like this:

(Shift in NEUTRAL! and wear glasses.)

If it cranks now, the starter is OK.

Check that the Red wire push-on is tight on the starter solenoid.

It could be the seat belt Interlock ('74 cars).
Look on my web site:
http://www.nls.net/mp/volks/
Electrical section/Misc/
for: How to Bypass seat belt Interlock.

If that is already bypassed, the Ignition sw is likely bad.
Try wiggling the plug on the bottom of the Ignition lock.

If you trace it to the Ign sw, post back .

Try to see if hot wiring it gets a spark! If so, your ignition switch is
bad, common problem.
