No +12v at solenoid when key in cranking position

champyfz450 said

Hey gang, I'm having an issue with my Demon since pulling the gauge cluster to install a Holley 6.86 dash. I have no power at the solenoid with the key in the cranking position, could this have anything to do with completely removing the factory gauge cluster? Also, I should add that the car will start and idle if I "jump" the solenoid.

Thanks

WE NEED to know the year/ make model, or to put this more pointedly "IS THIS" a 74? (Seat belt interlock)

You may have gotten the shift mechanism / linkage from the column down out of adjustment when pulling the dash, OR IS THIS a console shift?

If this is NOT a 74, the electrical path for the starter relay is key switch---harness connector---through the bulkhead connector--to the starter relay coil--through it and out onto the wire leading to neutral safety at transmission---and to ground in park or neutral

Then once the starter relay is engaged, the contacts close and send power from the "big square" screw on the starter relay down to the starter solenoid
