Re: I'm stuck in a parking lot - starter relay?



If you can get the car up to 15mph or more you can push start it to get you home.  Just turn on the key, put in first gear, get up to speed,  should start right up.

I drove my 63 Polara 500 up to Manchester Connecticut (near Hartford)
for an overnight trip.  Now I'm stuck in the parking lot and it won't
start.  Battery and electric seem good; lights work and I have a jump
box.  The symptom is when I turn the key, the oil light comes on but
nothing at all from the starter.  No noise at all.  I tried a
different ballast resistor (I carry a spare).  I tried re-seating all
the connectors.  I tried cleaning the battery terminals.  I guess all
that's left is the starter relay?  I'm trying to find a local parts
store that has one.

I have a spare starter relay, but just realized it's the wrong one.
The car has 2 blade connectors and 2 bolt connectors.  The spare has 5
blade connectors.

I guess I'm hoping someone has some bit of magic for me to try.
