2000 will not start with key
spent days looking around and trying just about everything.
It will no longer start with the key, will start if you put power to the relay (replaced original to rule that out). I have also tried to bypass the Neutral safety switch to no avail.
this is my second one ive owned last one was a wheeler/daily, was a member on here a long time ago but have since forgot all login credentials and emails haha

hi..use a 12v test light or a meter..connect one lead of the test light too the solenoid (small cable)...and the other lead to a good earth..turn the key to the start position..if the lamp dose not light.it could be the ignition switch actuator pin thats broken..mine did the same last week..i had to fit a new actuator pin,took about 1hr to do..but you may also need some tools...i had to buy a set of Trox security bits..with a hole on the middle to go in the Trox bolt as theres a pin in the bolt..it was T10..hope that helps you.
