Hey guys i have a question in regards to electric issues. Yesterday i fired up my challenger thats been sitting awhile. I was not paying attention and my positive battery cable fell out of the loom and hit the header. I got it quick but it did but through a good amount of insulation. Anyways the problem is that once this happened the iginition key does turn the car over anymore. I can crozz the relay and it works no problem. So i figured that maybe it was the relay and replaced it. That did not fix my problem. So now im thinking that its the ignition switch. Is there anyway of testion it when its in the car?

I found a thread online saying to use a test light from your negative post to the yellow wire on the relay. When i do that, the car turns over. Im kinda confused and want to get it running without have to cross the relay but dont want to buy a switch if thats not the problem.

Thanks guys any help would be great!

that yellow wire is the neutral saftey

sounds like that isn't working right.
if you ground it (which is what you did with the test light) then the ignition and relay are working fine.
neutral saftey is the problem.

The NSS wire may have got burned up OR in the madness you knocked the shifter a little out of park...

So i might have gotten all worked up for nothing. It wasnt all the way in park. Sorry guys
