Does anyone know how to test an ignition switch on a crx? Is there a way to hot wire it 2 see if that is actually the problem? The car wont even turn over and the fuel pump wont kick on so could this be the ignition switch? Seached but couldnt find much. Thanks in advance.

 

Ignition switch doesn't control the fuel pump.....although the main relay controls BOTH the starter and the fuel pump.

But how can you check it? Anyway to bypass it or test it?

 

I'm pretty sure the main relay has NOTHING to do with the starter.

The ignition switch is pretty simple. Helm book shows the 3 circuits & you can check continuity thru it with a multi-meter.

I'm pretty sure you're mistaken there buddy.....eh...what do I know, i'm just a mechanic that deals with this crap on a daily basis, maybe you're right, maybe it is his ignition switch causing no cranking and NO FUEL.
