Double check the wiring connections on the starter relay-its not connected correctly

thank you i tried but it is wired correctly. do you have any other ideas. thanks

truck wouldnt start thats y i changed parts but before it stop running all my gauages were******** back and forth

check for start signal at the starter selonid at s terminal on the fender

ok i tried that and it has power there. i can take those wires off and hook battery cables back up but it tries to start when hooking s terminal back up and m terminal without the keys in.

remove both terminals and check with a test light the one that has the start signal goes to the s terminal.you my have reversed them.

ok so i did that and it is correctly wired. any other suggestions

Check and test the ignition switch

how do you check and test the ignition switch

if the start signal is right and shuts off when you release the key.youll need to replace the seloniod.if no you will have to check the ingition switch.

BEEN SORTA HALFWAY FOLLOWING THIS

HE SAID HE HAS VOLTAGE TO THE SIGNAL?

HE SHOULD ONLY HAVE IT WHEN KEY IS IN "START POSITION"....NOT CONSTANTLY....YA????

AM I NOT READING THIS RIGHT?

THE MEDIC

i changed the ignition switch on the column under the dash. its a brand new seloniod and it is wired properly. any other suggestions

IS YOUR IGNITION SWITCH CALIBRATED TO THE KEY POSITIONS---OR IS "START" ON THE SWITCH ACTUALLY "ON" ON THE KEY?

THE MEDIC

JUST TO SEE WHERE THINGS ARE--REMOVE "S" FROM THE SOLENOID, CONNECT BATTERY...........RESULTS???

THE MEDIC

If i put the key in the start position, the truck will start but the starter keeps going. With the key out of the ignition i have to keep the negative terminal off the battery or it will try to start and it gets stuck on. It has a brand new starter, seloniod, ignition switch, battery and cables. I was driving and when i turned the truck off it wouldnt start and acted dead so i bought new battery and ect.

It still tries to start.

WHEN CHANGING/ MESSING WITH THE SOLENOID--DID YOU PUT ACCESSORIES ON THE POS BATTERY CABLE SIDE, OR DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING ON THE STARTER SIDE AS WELL....STARTER SHOULD BE BY ITSELF ON THE SOLENOID

THE MEDIC

I have the starter cable by itself to the selenoid. On the other side of the selenoid I have the positive cable and three smaller wires. The s wire by itself.

OK

LET'S DO THIS (I THINK I HAVE YOUR SOLENOID IN MY HAND, FROM PAP'S '86 T-BIRD)

ONLY MARKINGS I SEE IS "S" AND "I"

INSURE YOUR "S" WIRE IS CONNECTED TO "S" TERMINAL

IF IT WAS RIGHT

REVERSE YOUR STARTER AND BATTERY ON THE BIG POSTS--INSURE THE LITTLE WIRES STAY WITH THE BATTERY CABLE...STARTER ALL BY ITSELF ----XXXXXX--- UNLESS THE SOLENOID IS MARKED "BATTERY" AND "STARTER"

CAN'T HURT NOTHIN' NOW!

REMEMBER THIS TOO-----EVEN BRAND NEW STUFF CAN BE BAD!

THE MEDIC

is their power on the s wire always or does it only show power when cranking?
