Re: IML: 62 not cranking ???

["john sadowski" <jsadowski@xxxxxxx>]

The fact that the starter stuck in the engaged position would suggest the 
starter being the problem. You can check the relay with a screwdriver. 
FIRST, be certain that the car is in neutral & the parking brake set. Touch 
the 2 large terminals on the relay at the same time with the screwdriver. 
The starter should crank if its OK.  If no cranking, the starter is likely 
bad.
