I'm having a problem with my '85 CJ7. I need some help. Here's some background info and the problem:
I have a push button starter switch wired directly to the solenoid. When the igntion is switched "on" the voltmeter goes up to 12v, then when I push the starter button the volts drop to zero and the starter will not turn over. I replaced the solenoid, but the problem remains. Also, when the ignition is switched "on" and I turn on the headlights or a turn signal, the same thing happens. I've had this push button switch on this jeep for 8 years. It has always worked perfectly. I have a new battery and cleaned all the conections. What can I do?
