R6 clicking does mean that the start position of the ignition switch is good and the wiring leading to R6 is good. What we don't know is the condition of the wiring between R6 and the starter, and the condition of the contacts inside the relay that allow power to flow from the battery, through the relay and to the starter. Checking the voltage at the smaller wire on the starter will hopefully establish an answer and narrow the search.



No problem, thanks for your help.

So is the ignition switch definitely out of the picture?

I tested the voltage on the starter tonight. Big wire has about battery voltage all the time. None of the other ones have any voltage ever, key on or key off.

I have a new relay for R6 that I got at AZone. Unless I did something stupid and fried it (are you supposed to disconnect the battery every time you pull a fuse or relay?) then R6 is not the problem. As I was testing voltages I switched out my stock relay for the new one. Same results.

What next? I don't believe it is the clutch switch but it has not been replaced. I did disconnect the switch itself and put a wire between the contacts and try to start it up. I found the switch that AZone sold me, and it is the rear one, the black one from my photo. Replaced.

Thanks again, I truly appreciate all of the help!

What's next?
