Car won’t crank, need help- ideas?

 James Chochole  March 29, 2024
My ’75 Monaco won’t crank on the key. Here’s the riddle:
1. new battery & solenoid
2. when key is turned to start, solenoid clicks
3. I jumped the old solenoid and jumped the starter relay and the started does crank
4. no new wiring or changes to the car have been made.

Any ideas? Could this indicate a bad relay?

Thanks,
James

74 Dodge Won’t Start in Park? (NSS?)

My 74 Dodge does nothing when I hit the key in park, but if I shift to neutral it starts right up.

Sound like a neutral safety switch? If so, how hard are they to change out?

Thanks,
Jim
