1994 Mitsubishi Galant Car won't start

Hi jamesash5252,

Thank you for the donation.

1. Use a remote wire to attach to starter solenoid and crank.

2. With igtnition switch turned to starter cranking position, check for power supply to the starter solenoid wire.

Hi jamesash5252,

Step 1. Remove the starter solenoid switch wire and attach a wire. Provide power to the wire and if the starter cranks, it is ok, if not it needs to be checked/tested.

Step 2. Testing ignition switch. Attach a test lamp to the starter solenoid wire and ground. Turn the key to crank position, if test lamp lights up, the switch is ok.

Hi jamesash5252,

If both works, then it should not be the inhibitor switch. When cranking, power goes from the switch to the inhibitor switch and to the starter so power supply is getting through.

Most probably the ignition switch wire to starter solenoid is weak and not providing enough juice to push the solenoid.

Try attaching a relay with power supply from battery to the starter solenoid and using the solenoid wire to activate the relay.
