Took it to O'Rileys. Tested O.K. Relay clicked when I turned the key. Replaced Relay anyway. Replaced selenoid(SP?). Replaced igniion key and electrical connector. Checked all fuse links with an ohm meter. The all showed closed connections. Removed spark plugs and easily turned the crankshaft. So engine does not seem to be seized. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
