Remote Starter Switch

[dodge440@xxxxxxx]

Guys and Gals:

I am back trying to get out of what I am hoping is not a disaster with  
my electrical system.

The other day I decided to fire up the BAM project just to lubricate  
the engine. The interior is out of the car. Items that were laying on  
the floor, metal, were the console shifter and the courtesy lights and  
sockets. Also, possible 1965 Sun Tack wires. I was sitting on a metal  
milk crate. Battery was fully charged. I put the key in and turned it  
but there was nothing. (By the way the C pillar courtesy lights were  
working.) I figured the shifter was not in park or neutral so I put it  
all the way forward for park. Tried the key again and zap the lights  
went  off and not sure if i say any flashes. There was no smoke, smell  
or fire. I tried the key again and did not even get a click. Nothing.

I thought the complete battery was drained. Then I disconnected and  
recharged the battery. Checked the battery with my test and it read  
12.600 which is a sign the battery is fully charged and good.

I have not had a chance to check the little fuses under the dash.  
Evidently there might be a fuse  or safety switch in the console  
shifter. At first I thought the console shifter might have shorted out  
when i turned the key.

I do not want to hook the battery up a gain because of one or more  
shorts that might drain the battery instantly, although the fuses in  
the car should prevent that.

I thought if  I hooked up the Sun remote switch after pulling the coil  
wire and then hooked up the battery and used that to spin the engine  
thus bypassing the shifter.

I have forgotten where on the firewall I attach on end of the remote  
switch, there is a square unit that has a large nut and one of the  
wires looks like it goes to the Solenoid.
Does the other end of the remote go to the positive post or negative  
post.

I just want to make sure the wiring is in tack for that part.

Hard to believe after 45 years I have forgotten this when it was  
second nature. However, I can still remember the 65 Super Stock  
Nationals and the et that the Mopars were running. I guess it is  
priorities.

Any help and advise would be appreciated.

I want to thank those that have helped me out in the past especially  
my interior paint question a couple of weeks ago.

There is a real interesting article on the SB Poly's  by a guy who is  
70 and been racing them for 50 yrs. It is last months issue of  
"Chrysler Power"

God Bless America and get well Dodger
