Hi, I have a 1988 90 which I fitted a 3.9 efi auto which now runs and drives fine. I've now decided to wire up the starter inhibitor switch so it will pass it's MOT and make it safe for others to drive.
Has anyone done this before or able to give me some pointers?
As far as I can make out I need to wire the switch in series with the earth wire from the starter relay (pin 86). However i tried this i cut the earth wire from pin 86 wired it back through the switch and it started in gear as before. I then tried it by wiring the switch through pin 86 of the starter relay and then to ground on the battery. This time it didn't start in gear as it should but however when I turned the key to the first position with it in park/neutral it started. Now I know this isn't right but can't figure out why it's doing this.
I'm thinking of trying to wire the inhibitor switch in series with the ignition switch (crank position)to starter relay wire which is white/red and I belive it is pin 85. Could this work or has the switch got to go to ground?
many thanks
Karl
