Electrical problem
1970 Ford F-250 V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic ????? miles
Just got this truck and it started fine for 2 weeks. Then it wouldn't start at all. Wiggled the automatic column shifter around and it would start. Thought it was the neutrl safety switch going bad. I was wrong. the nuetral safety switch is bypassed. someone hooked a single wire to it and then "pinned" it in Park. Found this out after i was gonna by a new starter but the one i had "bench tested" great. Put a new solenoid on for good measure. Still the starter spins but it is not engaging the flywheel. Both flywheel and starter teeth are in good shape. What gives?
