Well got in an replaced the ignition switch on the 1994 110 this weekend....The wiring behind the dash turns out to be an absolute mess!
Found a touch key immobilizer that I didnt even know I had :( And a turbo timer that seemed to be only partly connected....
Cut a long story short: Dismembered the immobilizer so that no trace of it remains (as far as I can tell....)
Have removed the turbo timer bits and pieces too.
Found the 4 wires that I should have for the igniton switch (brown/white/white with orange and white with red) and hooked these up to the correct terminals.
Yay!!...I have dash lights and wipers...this is an awesome start!!
BUT!!....Only get a relay click when turning to the start position. Seems to be from a yellow relay behind the instrument panel. Is this the starter relay??
Is there another starter relay or fuse I need to search for?? Checked the fuses in the centre panel and they all look fine.
I checked power to the yellow relay and its getting power, but only just glows the bulb in the tester lamp....
Help!..Any advice welcome. Dont mind mechanics, hate electrics :mad:

My vague recollection is that the start relays are the two yellow ones adjacent the fuse box in centre section?

Thank you...Thats what I thought too...but they dont click..only the yellow one behind the instruments...
I woke up with a crazy thought at 2am!....I didnt do the battery terminals up tight, only finger tight! This could be the cause of the low power :o
Will investigate that after work....weather, wife and children permitting!
