[T3] no start -- but just drove it!

[Bryon Garvin]

OK BINGO !

here's the issue.  I didn't know about that 2nd wire that goes to the
diagnostic plug.  I was thinking all along that IT was the wire from
the front.  Indeed, I have now found that the wire from the ignition
switch was disconnected and hanging up above where I couldn't see it.

Only question left is:  Which terminal on the solenoid is for the
ignition wire and which is for the ECU testing point.  Or does it
matter?  I can't tell if those two terminals are connected, in which
case it doesn't matter.  But if it does matter, will someone tell me
which goes on which?

I have an upper terminal that is horizontal and a side one that is
vertical.  I believe I found the white ECU wire on the upper when I
started all of this.

Thanks,

 - Bryon
