1985 Nissan 300ZX Base Relay

Could this be why my Z31 wont engage when the key is turned over? If so where could I purchase missing relay?

yes you need the theft and inhibit relays
they are a standard relay ,I am almost certain parts stores should have one
you can swap the ascd & light relay

look in the wiring diagrams
also see if you have the power to trigger the relay
inhibit relay is you have to have the brake pedal firmly depressed before it will shift out of P
man trans had a clutch swt. the same way
checked mine ,yes 5 wire ,
mine has # 25230 C9961 part #
