Re: 1991 Ford Escort won't start
I did try shifting to neutral while starting but nothing.
The dash lights come on. Only the coolant check light comes on then turns off immediately, the others, oil, battery, and brake lights stay on.
Is the Starter relay the solenoid you are talking about? I know it is connected to the positive battery cable and is a long metal gadget on top of the engine.
I don't know how to test it though.
This is what the mechanic said on the invoice:
"Traced low voltage condition at starter signal wire.
Found ignition switch was missing a screw.
This caused the key to only turn partially.
Installed new screw. Vehicle now starts."
Would finding that ignition switch screw require a lot of work to get to?
I wonder if it would have come off again. And could I replace it myself?
And what would have caused the screw to go missing in the first place?
Thanks once again Rod for your help!
