Hello All: I haven't gotten any replies to last nights post about my 1990 Carats' Ignition Switch problem...in the meantime I have isolated the "clicking" sound to the fuse box (is there a starter relay in there???) A quick run down.... Last week my low beams quite working and the only way to keep the high beams on was to hold the lever in. Next day the high beams/low beams were working ok...could switch between the two...and I noticed one of the small (high beam) lights was out. I replaced this bulb (H-3?) with one from Autozone. Lights all worked...everything OK. Next morning I went to start Van...turn the key...and NOTHING. Figured it was the Ignition Switch. Bought one...and to check it I removed the plastic panel from beneath the steering column...pulled the wiring plug off the old switch and attached to the new one. When I turn the swich with a screwdriver to the 1st position I hear the fuel pump kick on, oil light blinks, etc. When I turn it further to start the Van I hear a single click from in the Fuse Box. (The starter is not turning over etc) Does the 2.1 have a Starter Relay...and if it is bad what are the signs? ANyone have this happen before??? Any help is appreciated.
