Might be the neutral safety interlock. The engine won't crank if it doesn't
think the gearshift is in neutral. See if the yellow/red wire on the
solenoid has 12V when you turn the key to start.

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,
