Ignition switch wiring?

Do you have power to the ignition switch if so and the starter motor is not engaging the engine-Check the starter motor, starter relay and transmission range switch. Here is the ignition. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed. Switch wiring.

Can you run a 12 volt jumper wire from the battery to the "s" terminal of the solenoid. Only touch it momentarily. If it works, you have bypassed the "start position" of your ignition switch

this will result in the solenoid operating and engaging the starter

watch out for those pesky moving engine parts, the sudden engagement of the starter will scare the mcdookey out of you!

You will jump!Just stay away from those pesky moving parts!

If the starter does work, you have eliminated the solenoid and starter from the equation

to eliminate the dummy part, insure the "s" terminal had the correct wire on it----the one generating 12 volts w/ key in the start position. If there is another wire mistakenly on it, it probably belongs to "i" terminal. And they are backwards!

Give your results from this and we may be able to diagnose better

the medic

Good deal!

Now we know that "S" wire is not getting 12 Volts, when the key is in the "Start Position"

I just happened by. Thought I might "RAZ" the "RAZ"!

Thanks for replying, I'll stay up for you, a bit longer, it's 0130 Eastern here!

Were you CONFIDENT in installing your ignition switch? Did you run it thru the motions, or were you sorta "cherry", doing one for the 1st time?

Just trying to keep this interesting, to keep me awake!

I know you must be really upset right now.I will do my best to help.

I do have some homemade pics of another Ford's switch.I can talk you thru it, if there is the slightest possibility. That you think you installed/ calibrated it wrong.

I hope my pics are similar enough to yours

Your turn

Not tryin' to be pushy, can you maybe commo back, a bit faster!

I hunt and peck kinda slow, I could go ahead and start my novel. If you'll just tell me you want it!

The Medic

All-Righty Then

Fast and furious

The "Nelsomatic" way of installing a Jeep CJ ignition switch/ Ford ignition switch!

I can do this without dropping the column, the only reason I dropped it on this F-100 was to get these pics

Usually someone never having done one before, installs it right, fights the "L" shaped rod forever, but just don't get it adjusted right! Usually they have the lock cylinder turning way too much clockwise, and "Start" never gets engaged!

The EZist way I have found is to "Preset" the ignition switch for the "Accessories Position"----Then turn the key to the accessories position.

Install the switch, and rod together, Being ever so careful not to move the ignition switch from the accessories position, and keeping the key rotated, all the way Counter-Clockwise

Screw it in place

Then try all of the positions

Sometimes, you may have to loosen the screws and tweak the switch, forward or rearward, just a little bitBut rarely, do I have to.

I always use dielectric grease on my electrical connections before I reconnect it.

That work?

I'll help you later in the morn, if you still need assistance, if Raz ain't got you fixed by then.

You're on "Fire Guard"

I HOPE YOU'RE OUT JOY RIDING, AND WE ARE THE FURTHER-EST THING FROM YOUR MIND!

WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN, LET US KNOW THE DEAL!

THE MEDIC

Airborne!

Right below me is where you knock!

May the Force be with you!

The Medic

I Can jump the solenoid and it will start. So what does that tell us? Over an ignition switch and cylinder lock that supposely been replaced causing all these headaches

Same flywheel as before?

Same tooth count, same diameter?

Can you rotate (in the direction the engine normally turns) the engine with a "Pull Handle" and a socket on the crankshaft pulley nut. Ain't locked down. Is it?

The Medic

I doubt it! When torqued, even too much, the pieces will face together. Far as they will go!

Something is in a bind!

Or you have the wrong application!

In neutral. Transmission and transfer case. Any combination of the 2, can you turn the Rear out put or the front output shafts on the transfer case?

What I mean is can you make the tranny innards move, by turning the transfer case yokes?

Just trying to figure out which is the problem. Could the transfer case be between functions?

The more I ponder.I also wonder if your torque converter is "Crammed"/ "Jammed" in between the tranny and the engine?

You really shoulda got a CJ!

We woulda had you fixed long ago!

Did you do any precise measuring of Old VS: New?

Your turn

The Medic

If you really meant that you could not turn the engine over by hand (with starter removed, in case it was hung up in the teeth, WAS IT?) How do you expect the starter to move it?
