Starter issue? 99 Si
i have a 99 si i picked up as a project. needed body work. stock b16a2.
i drained the old gas, put a new battery in it and it wouldnt start. it wouldnt even turn over.
the dash lights and fuel pump and everything came on, but nothing. i had my buddy put a jumper from the battery to the signal post (small one?) on the starter and i cranked it over and it started right up.
what would this be? a relay or something? im terrible at trouble shooting.
thanks in advance.

Re: Starter issue? 99 Si
i checked fuses 41 and 42 and both were good.
the clutch switch plunger was being fully depressed, i also depressed it with my finger and it made no difference in starting.
i got no voltage from "S" terminal, so if 41 and 42 were good, could it be the ignition switch?
i started it again by using a jumper from (+) batt. terminal to the "S" terminal on the solenoid and it cranked over and fired right up.
