If the bendix works AND you have a good connection to the battery, the
starter should turn, if it doesn`t, the starter motor is bad or the contacts
the bendix makes are bad.Either case a new starter.
Make sure the heavy wire to the starter and the ground return have clean
connections, make sure the spade connection on the solenoid(bendix) is
corrosion free( V typical). Put a test light on the this spade, it should
light up when you turn the key.
Sorry I don`t recall where the neutral safety switch is, not in the tranny I
hope. the relay though is by the brake booster.
Hope it helps,
George Nunez

ALL ACCESSORIES ON MY 505 WORK INCLUDING MY FUEL PUMP. BUT THE STARTER
DOES NOTHING. I PUT A JUMPER TO THE STARTER AND THE BENDIX GOES IN AND BACK
BY IT WILL NOT ROLL THE ENGINE. I SUSPECT THAT THE STARTER SAFETY SWITCH IS
BAD. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE THE SWITCH IS OR WHAT MY PROBLEM IS.
