74 Duster (318) ignition not working, not getting spark

Hit the reset. If the relay still works hitting the reset won’t hurt it, and if somehow it’s the seat belt relay causing your issue the car may start after that.

If the relay is totally fried, you’ll still have to bypass it. But hitting the reset button won’t hurt anything either.

I really kinda doubt that the seat belt relay/interlock is your issue a though. But it’s worth a shot.


Can you or someone else send me some good pics of where the ballast resistor is mounted (and should be mounted from the factory) so I can mount mine and go ahead and ripping things apart and hopefully getting it wired back into the circuit?
