Re: IML: 90 imperial no start issue AGAIN!!

Hi peter, yes I actually replaced the starter relay with a new one. and Mark, where is the neutral safety switch ? and how is it checked? I did shift to "neutral" and attempt a start,and I got the same no start, or I should say no crank situation.. I also tried adjusting the steering wheel to multiple positions, and nada.

Matt: have you checked the starter relay in the relay and fuse box on the
drivers side near the shock tower? My 93 5th Ave was doing the same thing
your car is doing and it was the starter relay.
