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,

I think you'll find that your problem is either in that 8 point plug or
the 50 AMP fuse. Most likely its in the 8 pin cluster. I had this
problem and the way I fixed it was to open the 8 point plug and use some
very fine sand paper (crocus cloth) and clean the male contacts. Roll
up the paper and clean inside female contacts, too. There are 2 - 50
AMP fuses, check both to make sure they are OK. I had one lose its
continuity. A simple volt meter can check this out.

Hope this helps, Norm
