Hi Carlos, I'm glad to help! Carlos, if you have the 2 wire "KILL SWITCH" in the trunk then you can unplug the switch and see if it starts. If it does not start then wire the 2 wires together and se if it starts. NOTE: This is only temporary you do need to replace the switch a soon as possible because it is a safety issue. Hope this helps and have an awesome day Carlos.
