    Ignition/starter relay...

    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

    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
    Will investigate that after work....weather, wife and children permitting!
