Starting problem.

[Zauna]

Hey Guys! Well im back unfortunately..more issues with the truck. Just replaced the Ignition module with a brand new one and installed some new spark plugs and wires...

Well seems like I have a new problem or maybe it was part of the old one I had. I had alrady noticed that the Ignition Cylinder kept on sticking on the On Position and was harder to turn each time, but it would start. Well today after trying to start the car I couldnt get the car to start, seemed like it was low on battery cause it acted like it wanted to start but wouldnt crank all the way. Changed the battery and it still wouldnt start. Pushed the car to get it to start and it finally did!

What do you guys think is causing the problem? Maybe the starter? Or could it be the Ignition Cylinder or the Ignition switch? I sprayed some wd40 in it and it seemed to help alot.

Ok just replaced the starter with a brand new one and when I turn the key the car does nothing.... THe only click I hear is at the Left Front fender...No start at all. When I bypass the Solenoid at the fender with a screw driver the car starts right away... The thing is that that front Fender starter solenoid is only about 2 weeks new...

So what's next? Ignition Switch? Or the Ignition Solenoid on the fender went bad again?

Check the Red/Light Blue wire to the starter relay S terminal - when you put the key on start, check for 12 volts, either have someone watch a meter, or hook up a test light. That will narrow down what is going on. If it's dead, need to work back to the neutral safety switch and check for power there. Diagram would be a huge help. I actually own the 1987 EVTM, let me know what you find and I can help you out with some of the wiring colors and circuits.

Checked that wire with a Test light and nothing happend when I try to turn it on. So that red/blue wire has no power...Checked for power at the Clutch safety switch when tyring to turn on the car and nothing on either Wire...

So it's either the ignition switch or the Ignition Lock Cylinder?
