Won’t start

[Selfbuilt99]

Hey guys, my 93 4.0 ranger won’t start won’t crank. I have replaced the starter solenoid and starter and checked all fuses. Replaced the ignition switch but now I’m stumped. I turn the keys and everything else works. But won’t even begin to crank. What might be the issue?

Have you double checked the wiring to the starter? There could be a bad ground somewhere.

Might be a neutral safety switch issue? The truck thinks it's in gear.

I’ve checked the wirings and all seem fine. Couldn’t find any issues, how could I possibly check if I’m getting power to ignition? It’s got major transmission problems, however I don’t think it’s the issue because it’s in park, and I can jump the solenoid and start up and it’s definitely in park.

You can jump the solenoid and start it even if it's not in park. Have you tried to crank it in neutral? Column shift or floor shift? If it's a column you might try pulling up on the lever when you try the starter.

Have not tried in n, have tried holding it up and wiggling while trying to crank but nothing
