OK Ive searched and read a lot of threads but nothing is really like what I have here. Car is an 01 Tib. Its turbo with a standalone but my issue isnt concerning that. Anyway, the car doesnt crank. Starter works perfect. The "signal" wire on the starter never gets voltage. My power widows also dont work which leads me to ignition switch. However, my headlights do work with car in ON position and turn off when I put it on accessory, meaning the switch is working for that. Im hoping someone can help me maybe find a connector I missed or something. Otherwise I guess Im looking into replacing the Ignition switch which looks like a real pain. Any info needed just let me know. I miss my car so much...

Power comes from the battery, thru dark blue fusable link, pink fusable link, ignition switch, auto trax switch if auto, to the start relay, and then to the clutch switch if manual, then ground. It has to complete that loop or you will have the symptoms you have.

DTN is viewing the thread. I'm sure he will have webtech diagrams and microsoft paint drawn images by sundown.

In the meantime, all I can suggest is to borrow some of radu_RD2's spark plugs. Apparently they magically arc without a voltage supplied to them. There magic alone should be enough to get the tib cranking again!

dammit, DTN is getting faster at typing.. LOL

... I wasn't going to, but because you were soooo sure of yourself...



I'm betting it's the pink fusible link J after looking at it a bit more.

I would check the clutch switch first, mine went bad when my car was two months old, if not that I would say the fusable link went out on you and that usually only happens if the starter draws to much amperage or theres a short somewhere.
