1996 Ford ranger. Manual. 4 banger. The key cylender wore out a long time ago. I could start it w a flathead screwdriver instead of the key. But today the key would only turn half way until I wiggled it and used enough force to bend the key. One of the key cylender flower petals, a skinny one, broke off and now the radio comes on and the starter turns but there's no vroom.
The battery is way oversized and charged. I shorted the s to the plus at the solenoid, combined with the key in the on position and it he starter justtjust turns.
There r 2 brown wires and a yellow wire going into the steeringwheele base. And a black wire going into the key cylender.
Any ideas?
Can I just hotwire it and make it start? Thanks.
