Hi Laura,
Sorry I took so long...I was out of town.
The switch is down above the brake pedal, but if the fuel pump runs,(and that is the way it should do...three seconds or so), and the starter operates, I would think the switch is good. But that wire jiggling indicates to me that the connector on the switch might be loose.
May help to remove the steering column support nuts, just in front of the drivers knees, and lower the column so you can get access to the switch.
It is adjustable, also, by the way.
Van
AnswerHi Laura,
If you are sure those are fusible links, then replace them.
Pierce the wire connected to them, and see if there is power in the wire, or at the terminal that is connected to the link. If so, there should be power in the wire that connects to the link.
Get it there, especially at the ECM.
Van
