What is a DMM ?

A DMM is a Digital MultiMeter.

Do this:

Get a helper.
Attach the alligator clip from the test light to a good ground.
Verify by touching the test light tip to the pos. battery terminal.
Disconnect the small press-on wire that goes to the starter relay.
Have your helper hold the test light tip to the wire you disconnected from the relay.
Go and try and start the car with the key (it won't even crank over, but don't worry. Just hold the key in the START position for 2 or 3 seconds).
While you do this, the test light should light up, and it should go out when you stop. If it does, then the problem is in the relay. If the test light stays lit after you release the key, then the problem is either in the ignition switch, or the lock and tumbler.

Take care,
