Default security system
i cannot start my 85 after setting the security system. how do I over-ride this. i have tried to put the key in and turn on and then to lock as manual says with no results. electrical system seems to be working ok. nothing on the starter. how do i release the solanoid?

I am assuming this is the original system. this is the first problem I've had. when I shut the drivers door the system set, but when i unlocked the door the starter would not engage. thanks,

Maybe the switches in the door are worn and not working correctly
