If you have your owners manual check your fuses and relay for the ignition system also look at your cable connections and clean them they should be shiny NO WIRE BRUSHES ON BATTERY TERMINALS OR THE BATTERY POST//// JUST USE ALCOHOL AND A RAG on all including the starter connections then try to start the car //// BUT HERE'S A QUESTION WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY DOES YOUR ANTITHETICAL LIGHT FLASH RAPIDLY IF SO YOUR CAR IS IN THEFT MODE AND IF YOUR CONNECTIONS ARE DIRTY YOU EITHER HAD AN INTERRUPTION IN BATTERY POWER OR DID YOU DISCONNECT THE CABLES AND NOT USE YOUR KEY FOB REMOTE TO STOP THE HORN OR ALARM FROM SOUNDING THE POWER LOSS COULD'VE HAPPENED WHEN YOU WERE SLEEPING FROM CORROSION OR A LOOSE CABLE AND THEN THE POWER FLOWED AGAIN AND THIS WOULD THROW THE VEHICLE INTO THEFT MODE IF THIS IS NOT CORRECT THEN CHECK CONTINUITY OF ALL WIRES LEADING TO THE STARTER ALSO CHECK THE BRAIDED WIRE THAT GOES INTO THE STARTER CASE FROM THE SOLENOID IF IT'S BROKEN THIS IS YOUR PROBLEM OK IF NOT DO ALL CHECKS AND POST BACK IN COMMENTS GOOD LUCK STEPHEN
You presumably mean the starter solenoid? Can't think of any other solenoid...
The starter solenoid doesn't have an ignition terminal. The spare terminal many starter solenoids have is an output terminal that has power on it when the starter is engaged and cranking the engine.
Early vehicles with a ballast type ignition system used this output to bypass the ballast resistor and boost the spark during starting and the output could conceivably be used to tell an engine management system when the engine was being started but I have no knowledge that it is definitely used this way.
Thank you for responding . It turned out to be the park / neutral switch connection.Thank you for responding . It turned out to be the park / neutral switch connection.
