Electrical Issue

[03BeastCharmer]

Just as the weather has started to get cooler here in Houston, my car will not start. My Superformance is a 2007

I took it out for a nice long drive a week ago, turned it off when I got back home. Started it back up a minute later to move it, and it will not start.

My friends and I tried to diagnosis the problem last weekend without any luck.

I have 12.5V at the battery, starter, alternator and the leads into the solenoid on the firewall. Nothing happens when I turn the key, try to turn on the lights, fan, or use the horn, so it feels like there isn't power to the main fuses.

All of the fuses are intact. According to your wiring diagram I have, fuse slots 1 and 3 (pics 2 & 3) (far left box are supposed to be hot, but are not). In Picture #1, the green bundle in the middle with the buzzer are also supposed to be hot, but isn't. The red bundle below the green bundle does have power.

The wire at the very top left of the panel (pic #3) we believe is supposed to be the ballast resistor. It looks like the wire snapped from one of the leads. Is this the cause of my problem? Does anyone know what part this is, and if broken, where to get a replacement? Attached pictures of it in car, pulled out and up close with the parts written on it.

I want my baby back up and running.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

The part with the broken lead is a 10v stabilizer that supplies a constant 10v to one or more of your gauges. With the lead broken, some of your gauges will not work but it should not prevent the car from starting.

I would check the ignition switch to make sure when you turn the key to start that the start terminal has power. If not, it is the switch. If so, then you need to trace it on down the line to the starter solenoid.

Good luck.

Thanks, thought it was going to be too small a part for the issues I was having. I think my issue is bigger than the ignition switch as my headlights, horn, and cooling fan have manual switches that used to work without the key, but aren't working now.

Send me an email with your phone number. I am not going to deal with CC when running so poorly.

A car number would be helpful too
