Starter Circuit testing - No action!
G'day all,
I pulled the motor for a rebuild and now I've put it back in and reconnected everything, it all works EXCEPT the starter (which is kind of important!)
I have 12V everywhere (slave solenoid, starter, Alt, Ign 12V Protected) but when I turn the key to start, nothing. No click, not a thing. Can't even hear the solenoid click.
My arms aren't long enough to reach the key and the voltmeter on the yel/red start switch wire simultaneously to see if that's activating.
I've replaced the slave solenoid too but no change. Still nothing.
Starter is a CVR ProTorque.
Can anyone assist with some tests etc?
HELP!

I try the simple things first.

I would use a remote starter switch, it will bypass everything else in the circuit and let you know if it's the starter or something in the circuit. You can get them at any auto parts store for 10 bucks.

All sorted, mickeymcclgn was right, neutral safety switch fried somehow. Bypassed that and all fixed!
Good thing is I rewired 90% of the connectors and terminal ends I didn't like the look of while searching for the fault.
Cheers lads!
