Do not overlook the simple things such as the neutral safety switch inside the control box or a disconnected yellow/red wire on the key switch. I am assuming that the gauges power up with the key to ON and that the trim works OK.

Greetings,

My Cobra engine won't start. Absolutely nothing happens when I turn the ignition key - no click from the solenoid, and obviously the starter doesn't crank. The battery is OK. Does this indicate that the solenoid is shot?

I guess it theoretically could be the ignition switch but the instruments come to life so I don't think that's it. What's the easiest way to diagnose the solenoid?

thanks ahead,
