Well, the old beast decided to not start after a long winter sleep. It was a nice day today, about 2 -3 Celcius ( about 35 - 37F) so not bad for this old guy to work outside.
After playing around a bit, I jumpered the fuse box with a couple of pieces of .032 aircraft locking wire and then a jumper to battery. It started on about the second turn. ASD relay crapped out, sometime over the winter. Got the bypass kit on order.
Gotta jump M19 and M21 to power. if it starts, the ASD has soiled the bed!
On the 2012 and a few other years around there, Chrysler in their infinite wisdom, soldered and buried that relay inside the TIPM!!!
