ignition switch

[zimmy]

when trying to start my car with the switch NOTHING happens...all the electrical connections are fine
and the car WILL start by hot jumping power to the starter(ign switch ON of course)
i bought a standard 35 amp relay at Oreillys and installed
it....no difference....
so im assuming i need a new ign switch..right?
also my blinkers light but dont blink, (flasher eh?)
thanks guys...u r all lots of help..z

Check the starter solenoid before jumping to the conclusion of a bad switch.

I agree with Jeff, when the key is in the cranking position, check to see if there is 12 volts at the soleniod. You can also check it by pressing the little nub between the to posts to see if the car cranks, if it does and there isn't 12v then it is the switch or the wiring.

The flasher is probably bad.
