It will determine that the starter still works...just make a connection between the two spokes on the starter while the key is in the on position.

[Camaro84]

alright thanks............ima try that in a little bit and then get back to you guys..............

[Camaro84]

alrite guys i did it and it was successful but i dont no what to do now...............
i took off my middle console to take a look at my shifter and look for the neutral safty switch and i didnt even no what i was looking at..... but i seen the wiring harness and put the test light on it and it has power........so yeah im not sure were to go from here??????????????/

[Camaro84]

O yeah and i tried to follow that purple wire from my solenoid looking for that fusible link and there was no sign of one maybe i missed it but i could nt follow it for to long because i lost it when it reached the drivers corner of the engine compartment and then i lost it..................

Best advice I can give you is to get a Hayne's or Chilton's manual and look up the replacement of the neutral safety switch. They will tell you the location and usually have pictures of what it looks like.

You can also trace the wire back with an ohmeter and a buddy helping you. Have him hold one terminal of the ohmeter on the solenoid wire and use the other end to try and figure out which wire in the harness is the other end. If none of them get any ohms go back to looking for the fusible link. If you have ohms on one of the wires, but not on the same wire on the other side of the switch when the shifter is in park/neutral then your switch is bad.

well i got a manuel and now i no were my neutral safety switch is and im about to go look at that and see if that is the problem.........

in the mean time i have just been jumping the starter with the purple wire were it enter my neutral safty switch and and to my positive on my battery............. so that pretty much means that its my neutral safety switch right??????????????????

and i looked for a fusible link and there is not one no were......... im thinking that the last person to rewire the wireing didnt put a fusible link back in were there was suppose to be one......... thats probably also the reason why the wire changes from purple to a red.............

No, the purple wire does not have a fuseable link on it.

And if jumping power to the s terminal on the solenoid starts it, then it must not be getting power from the purrple wire from the ignition switch.

[Camaro84]

Yeah thats wat i was thinking it was from either the neutral safety switch or the ignition switch...................
so i went out and bout a neutral safety switch and now everything is working perfect...................thanks everybody for all the help it was much appreciated...................

Cool beans, fixed is fixed.
