2002 Kia Rio Repair Question
Mileage: 12,500 miles.
Starter wont turn over
Answer
Check and test the starter relay and transmission range switch
i'm sending a schematic and check the two fuses i have marked with arrows. also check to make sure power is going through the neutral switch if an automatic or clutch switch if a stick.
How can I make sure that power is going through the neutral safety switch?
a test light or volt meter, you will need a helper to try to crank the car while tesing for going in and out
It's a rotary-style switch, so can I just use a test light ont the prongs of the plug that plug into the switch?
yes but if you disconnect the switch you will have to jump to the other wire or leave it plugged in an djust hit teh prongs on teh switch with the test light.
Because its a rotary switch, I can't simply unplug it from the tranny and touch the prongs
then probe the wires you have a schematic. if you dont 'know how to do this then have a pro check it out.
