The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VI.. Stop In!!!
Went to my fathers place for a late lunch. He makes great hamburgers. I had said I was going to have just one and I was determined to lock my desire down to that, but my appetite quickly picked the locks. I had two. Later when I went to go home my vans engine turned over twice then stopped. I pressed the starter button several times but nothing happened. The battery had a good charge on it so I surmised it must be something wrong with the starter button. Well way back when I originally ran the wires for this starter button setup I had stripped a tiny bit of insulation off the two wires that went to it for just such an eventuality. I popped the hood, turned the key on, went out and raised the hood then grabbed those two wires and pressed the two bare spots against each other. The engine kicked over, I dropped the hood and drove home. Once there I removed the starter button from the dash and looked at it. The problem was very simple. One of the wires had come loose. I put it back on and tightened the screws down good then tested it. The engine started on the first try so I put the button back in the dash. It would be nice if all my problems were that simple.
