Hi Gang,
FIrst up... THANK YOU, even for the insults. Here's the problem, "she's dead"... ok the SSR not the wife :grin2:
Went out to the garage, to fire up the R, and got "silence". The radio works, lights, alarm bing bonging... nothing from the ignition.
I knew the battery wasn't doing all that well (I had her on a voltage dribble) so I figured (1) bad battery, or (2) bad ignition switch. I went to my trusty NAPA parts store, picked up both. Put in the new Optima red top, tried her out, nothing. So, followed all the great instructions that everyone posted on Ignition Switch replacement, finally got that steering wheel cover off, replaced the switch (yes I checked the gears, and yes the key was in RUN), put her back together, (left the cover off just in case), and gave her another try.
Sounds of Silence (and an whimpering SSR amatuer mechanic)... nothing again.
One side note, the CHECK ENGINE idiot light is on... I don't have an analyzer so I can't tell what the code is, probably 666.
Any ideas??? Besides the stick of dynamite ... Thank you.
