Hello all,
I have a 1987 Maxima that will not start. I turn the ignition on and ALL accessories including headlights work. I think I'm even hearing the fuel pump run. It WILL immediately start if I disconnect the Inhibitor relay and connect a jumper across the "load" terminals (larger pair label "5 3"). Even though the relay is labeled "12V" I detect (digital volt-ohm meter) only about 0.03 volts. I just bought a new Inhibitor Relay and installed it. Not the problem - the car will not start. I have also removed the switch at the clutch pedal and check it. With plunger depressed the switch circuit is open - with plunger extended, the switch circuit is closed.
I have a Chilton's manual with schematic but it is hard for me to do much with it other than identify the labeled components.
Any ideas?
