74 TR6 "seatbelt module"
So do you think I will mess anything up by unpluging the multi pronged electric plug from the buzzer module?
The reason I ask is because as most electrical problems do, my ignition key failed to get the starter to engage.
Troubleshooting began with a check of the solenoid. OK.
Fuse. OK. No voltage in the W/R wire at the starter relay.
Studied the wiring schematic. Took the weather cover off the starter relay and engaged the points with my finger and the key in the on position. The engine starts!. You know what a pain it is to deal with the ignition switch; so I tried one more thing.
From looking at the schematic it seemed like the White/ Orange wire from the "seatbelt module" must be hot when the key is turned to START; mine wasn't. So I jumped 12v from the battery to the W/O terminal of the starter relay and BAM, Ol' Basil fired up.
That's where the "seatbelt module" comes in. I made a jumper from the W/R terminal to the adjacent W/O terminal on the seatbelt module plug, turned the key to START and again the starter spun and the engine started right up.
Since I had unplugged the plug to the buzzer to do all this, I left it that way.
The seatbelts were not connected to the buzzer before anyway, so no change there. The glove box lamp still works and I can find nothing else not functioning as a result of leaving the module unplugged.
So can anyone think of a reason to plug it back up?
And, no, I can't account for the failure of the W/O to energize in the first place. Any ideas about that?
