HELP! Car won't start and signal lights don't work
 
Hello I'm new to this whole thing I recently bought a 1985 rx7 111k miles all original parts when I bought the car had no problems starting cranked over perfectly ran excellent was able to drive it over 60 miles back home, got it home parked it on the driveway then moved it to the garage the next morning (realizing I could have flooded it I fixed that issue) but now I turn my key it will only click when I go from accessories to on it won't click when I try to start it battery is good I checked voltage there I can bump start it no problem any ideas? Also the signal lights and hazards didn't work when I got the car the bulbs are good and I'm getting power to the bulbs not sure what approach I should do there

Maybe a bad starter or ground. If you can push start it and i runs fine this means you have basically eliminated everything but the ground to the starter and the starter itself. The clicking means you have some sort of power to the starter. Try tapping the starter with a hammer. Just love taps. If that works, it means the solenoid is sticking. The next step is to take out the starter and have it tested. if the tap test worked, you'll need a new starter anyways.

That's great thanks I took it out and it tested good I think it was my ignition switch it looked like it was burnt out so I'm gonna try replacing that and I'll post back here thank you so much for the post it really helped narrow it down
