Ignition switch start position
I have a 1984 Ford E-150. The start position on the ignition switch will
not operate the starter. I have been starting the van by connecting a wire from one of the small terminals on the starter relay to the positive terminal on the battery. Could this problem be associated with a repair part other than the ignition switch? "302 engine" |

It sounds like you have a bad solenoid. That's the "starter relay" you
are talking about. |

The fault is that it is not getting energized through the usual path from the ignition switch etc. probably a bad switch or possibly a bad wire or connection in the circuit. Charlie |

Neutral safety switch is a place to start. With an assistant and a test
light, the original poster should easily isolate the cause. "Charlie Bress" > wrote in message news > > "Mikepier" > wrote in message > oups.com... > > It sounds like you have a bad solenoid.
