A friend is asking for help since they're stranded and need to get there Vette up and running. Suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Details:
1980 Corvette
Battery was starting to go dead.
Alternator was changed by owner which is not very diy'er.
Battery was disconnected when swap was done.
Rebuilt alternator was installed.
Battery was put on charger and fully charged.
All connections were double checked and tight.
All headlights dome lightes etc, horn, radio works fine.
Checked couple fuses but doesn't know exact location of ignition fuse or inline fuse.
Problem:
Starter will now not engage or make any sound when attempted to start. It appears as though there is no power to the starter.
Any and all suggestions would be appreciated as he needs to be mobile like yesterday since Vette is a DD.
