Truck will not start with the key.

There is a starter solenoid on the passenger side fender well. It has 2 big threaded post and 1 or 2 small ones. Have someone turn the key and see if that is what's clicking. If it is take a big screwdriver and jump across the 2 big post and it should start right up

Turn the key to the run position and then use a screwdriver to connect the two posts on the starter relay...will start the vehicle.

Is your battery/connections any good?

sually when you have to jump the solenoid the starter is going

solinoid for starter is bad. on a lot of fords the solinoid is mounted on fender, under hood. if you jump from one side to other on solinoid, and it tries to start then solinoid is toast. just follow the positive cable from battery. and you will find it.

Sounds like there's a grounded wire somewhere between the ignition switch and the solenoid. When you bypass the switch with the screwdriver you don't ground out the line, but with the switch the ground shorts the circuit, blows the fuse, and then won't start the engine.

if it does not turn over try placing truck in neutral or park and jump solinoide. may have to change to push button starter. berrydalewolf

gearshift switch not plugged in or faulty.

Seems to Be A Starter Solinoid Problem

The problem is either the starter solinoid (located on fender near battery) or you are not getting power to the "s" terminal on the starter solinoid from the ignition switch. If you follow the positive battery cable from the battery you'll follow it to the solinoid. Remove the small wire from the terminal marked "s" on the solinoid and using a screwdriver jump from "s" terminal (not the wire) to where positive battery cable connects to solinoid. (with battery connected). If starter doesn't do anything the solinoid is bad. If starter cranks then you are not getting voltage from ignition switch through "s" terminal wire.
