[QUOTE="Bobg, post: 187612, member: 4992"] Always check connections when dealing with 12v, to the point of loosening them just to disturb the connection, then retighten. Jumping the solenoid , battery positive to yellow wire with red strip should be all you need to do if all connections are tight and battery is hot, and solenoid is good. All I usually need is remote a starter button. Mercury wiring is the pits from back in the 70's/80's. Going directly to the starter is sometimes all you can do. [/QUOTE]
