Hey guys new here,
Wanted to start by saying I've done quite a bit of searching but can't seem to find a fix.
I recently bought a 96 Ranger with the 2.3 manual. The day after I bought it I went out to start it and nothing but a click coming from the starter relay (mounted on the driver inner fender). I knocked on the starter with a jack handle and it would fire right up. This would happen randomly but now I can't get the truck to start at all.
Now I am not getting even a click to the starter relay. The little red igniter wire on the starter relay is not getting power from the ignition system. I have check the following:
Ignition Switch (is getting power from the battery and sending 12v out)
Clutch Interlock Switch (replaced new)
If I run a jumper wire to the starter relay directly from the battery the truck starts right up. Seem to be getting a no crank issue from somewhere in the ignition system.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
James
