Need Help with L-jet/e12 starter

[JMinPDX]

Gruppe,

Anyone with an L-Jet Conversion?

I'm so close to having my car on the road but now I've got a problem.

A Little backgroundulled the bad motor and AT from my coupe last year and have dropped in an engine and 5sp from a good running 1981 e12. All mechanical work is done. I'm in the final stages of wiring but can't engage the starter.

I've eliminated the AT cutoff relay by the fuse box and conected the black wire from termial 50 of the ignition switch to terminal 30 on the e12 starter but I get nothing when I turn the ignition. I ran a jumper from terminal 50 of the ignition switch directly to the starer and still no go.

When I run a jumper directly from the battery to the starter it does engage so it's not a starter problem. It seems like I'm not getting power from the ignition switch. All other electricals work with the ignition on.

I've been staring at wiring diagrams for both cars for hours and I don't know what else to try.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

John M

Meter out your combo relay to figure out what's not connected. ( ECU, etc. besides the starter)

Battery--red wire to ignition switch to black wire from switch to black/yellow wire in Jetronic engine harness to Bottom spade connector of starter.
