Hey Guys This is my first post under this name. It wont work with my last, anywho... My prob is that To go start the car (pushing the start button) Wont work, UNLESS i reset my battery (just take off power cable for a 1sec. Yes it has a after market arlam as well. I dont think its that tho... I get full power stereo and everything works when you put the key in but wont start.... I was thinking maybe its the start button itself!!

BTW im also lookin for a L/driver side fender(got backed into)...

Hope that is enough info and pray someone knows cause if not, ill just replace the button first and go from there!! Anyone have ideas??

Thank You
DG

 

If you can consistently make the car start by disconnecting the battery, then it is 100% NOT the start button.

Alarm, almost guaranteed.

 

yup sounds like the alarm. if the start button works after the battery reset every time, how could it be the button?

 

The button has no logic circuit built in. Litterally all it does is pass power through it (to a relay) when you press it.

The Alarm however likely has a starter-kill function. Have you tried unlocking your doors (via keyless) when your having your no-start issue?

 

I have the same problem on my 1996 ford tunderbird with an aftermarket alarm. I have to unlock the alarm before starting the car. try turning on the key then press your alarm unlock button then try and start it.

 

sounds like alarm... go ahead and loop your clutch pressure switch and cross that out... (they tend to go bad in ap1's)

 

Wow i want to reply to ALL of your emails! Gosh i love you guys and this forum! Bought the car from a guy in Cali on this forum and had the alarm already installed when i bought it. Just by doin searchs has answered almost all of my ?s before this one... Im stumped LOL..... To the Gent that said try the alarm button while key turned, i will Thank You! I will try all of your suggestions, and post what i find out!! Again Thank You for such QUICK replys and helpfulness!!

 

Thank You! I thought that, but then wondered well maybe somehow it could?

Ya i think it has something to do with the alarm as well! Atleast thats what im leaning towards

Ya that would make sense my good man! I think it has something to do with it.

Ok tryed that and no go, but thaaank you for giving me something to try, cause im stumped!

Profit, this is going to sound soooo noobish(since ive never done that before), but, how would i do try that exactly?

 

sounds like an ALARM peob. i took out 2of the fuses to the alarm box and bam now it starts!

 

Ya don't say
