So my truck wouldnt start. I was able to cross the solenoid to get it running. I went and bought a new solenoid but it doesnt start with that one either. Same problem new solenoid. Any ideas?

Did you try cranking it in neutral? or working the lever up/down slightly while trying to crank?

The 'switched' current for the solenoid originates at ignition when in the start position, then routes through the transmission range switch. If you have a 12v continuity light, check for a crank/switched 12v output at the ignition switch first, then at the range switch if the ignition proves out..

 

ill try in neutral.

I have a multimeter, just check for 12 volts at both post?

 

That doesnt work either. The neutral safety switch does look beat though. Any chance this could be a ignition switch?

This truck is aggravating me so much that I just bought 90 f350 7.3 dump dually.
