And then go from there to see if it's something else but i just wanted to start with the relay.
Ignition was malfunctioning a few months ago and i took the ignition box apart and soldered 3 pins and she was running fine till the day before yesterday

Lots of possible reasons for the starter not working - neutral safety switch, power supply, starter relay, starter solenoid, starter, faulty cable, faulty connection, etc., etc.

It's easy enough to hook up a test light at the starter and see if there is power coming from the starter relay.

Thanks, i'm fully aware there are could be couple hundreds of reasons why it won't crank and first i'd like to see if power goes TO said relay
So any chance You know where it is?

a few months ago i had it randomly not starting and i took apart the ignition lock and soldered those pins.
after that she was running fine till last week.
PS sorry just realized i posted it in the wrong section though i don't think relay location is different
moving to X164
