>ughhhh! i was afraid of this<
Hey Peter, study Don's diagnostic approach, especially the "tell tale" light method. For a few bucks at Radio Shack and 1/2 hour or less, you'll have a tool to nail this bug -- and have it for future use (should your 240 ever have another problem).
>this car seems to have a starter relay<
Not according to the Bentley 240 Manual schematic, which shows a PINK wire coming off the Ignition switch to something called a "Bridge Connector" (looks like a jumper across 2 sockets. Diagram #212, which I have never found -- sorry).
But coming off Item #212 is another Pink wire with a black plastic terminal cover. It's under the hood tucked away somewhere on the left side. If you can find it, it could be another test point. And if you put 12 volts to it (wow!) tha starter should crank over (that's what it's for).
Leading away from the Bridge Conn., the wire is Blue/Yellow, straight to the Starter Solenoid, except for one apparent in-line "junction", whose location is not defined. (It's shown close to the starter, but that may not be the case.)
