    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Center position on the key switch is "start" gauge lights should be on as should all other lights. Now, rather than just "jiggling wires", make sure all the bullet connectors are clean and connected, make sure the all the ground wires are well cleaned and connected and all the wires are connected in the right places on your battery (I have forgotten to hook up a wire on the battery before).

Key switch position: full left is "lock" with the bars turned to the left lock, 10 o'clock position is "off, not locked, 12 o'clock is "on", and 2 o'clock is "lock" with tailights illuminated for parking and running down the battery.
 
Also, don't trust just looking at the fuses to say they are good. I learned the hard way last week that my ignition fuse LOOKED just fine but nothing wanted to start. Once I put the power light to it, nada/zilch/nope. Turned out it probably blew under the end caps.:eek:

In the end, test every fuse with your power light and make sure they are all good. THat is if you haven't already.
 
yotoman,

What test equipment do you have?
Test light/probe?
Multimeter?
Or just visual inspection and wiggling wires?

THings were okay before you took battery out and put back?
Or was there a problem and that is why you took out the battery?

In addition to wiggling wires, try wiggling the the ignition key, and maybe the connector on back of ignition switch. Try wiggling wires right at the fuse box also.

Tell us more what you find.
