    86 GT No Crank No Click No start

    So, I took the car to a welder for floor pans, got the car back and I had to get a new battery… Got the new battery, fixed the terminal connections. I’m running into an issue now where the car won’t start. I am able to start the car by creating a connection with a screwdriver to the solenoid.
