Isn't life cruel sometimes? I have an '82 245 GLT, automatic, that I've had for sale for a few weeks. The first two weeks I ran the ad in the local auto trader magazine, I had zero calls. All of a sudden, this past weekend, the phone is ringing off the hook. I have 4 people who want to see the car now, and it decides this is a good time to die.
So here is the story...
I've had no problems at all with the car starting or running. I parked the car at home, went in the house, came out about 10 minutes later, and nothing. All the lights work, all the accessories work (windows, radio, etc), but the starter will not even so much as go 'click'. Nothing.
I pulled the plug off the ignition switch at the back and plugged it into another switch that I'm fairly certain is good...no difference. I checked what I'm guessing is a neutral safety switch (mounted on the right side of the shifter), and it seems good. For kicks, I swapped in another one...no difference. I pulled the starter and had it tested. It's good. Checked the battery...it's good.
I don't have a factory manual, and the Chilton's manuals are usually crap. Any ideas? This is seriously making me homicidal...
Thanks a bunch
Bryan
