Hey all,
been a while since I posted, mainly because I haven't been driving
either of my peugeots : (
With the addition of a biodiesel station here in town, I've been
inspired once again to get one of these up and running. My problem is
a no start problem. I've done a bit of research, peered over the
electric manual (albeit for the 85 model) and done a bit of testing
with a multimeter. I was wondering if someone could possibly explain
in detail but in layman's terms what happens when you turn the switch.
I suspect my ignition switch may be faulty, but I am not sure how to
further test it. A close inspection of it, shows 4 larger wires
leading to harness and two thin black wires, not sure where those
lead. I'd like to know which wires I should test and what I should be
looking for.
Here is what I know. When I turn the ignition switch to run, the glow
plug light does NOT stay on. It comes on momentarily (one sec or
less) and then turns off. I can hear the accesory relay and the glow
plug relay click. I decided that I would test the glow plug relay and
find that it does power on for about 12 secs., however I am unsure if
the glow plugs are recieving current. (I will check this tomorrow).
When I turn the key to the start position, I can hear and feel the
starter solenoid click as well, however the starter motor does not
turn over at all. I have jumped the starter motor by connecting
directly to the battery and it does turnover. I have also tested the
voltage at the small wire/terminal on the starter solenoid ( I assume
this comes from the ignition switch?) and it reads a little less than
6 volts. Once again, I am guessing that it should recieve 12V? This
is part of the reason I think it's my ignition switch. Can anyone
verify my findings?
thanks for any help that you can provide.

ps I may be selling this car when I come back from Europe in a couple
