Took to the shop ran perfect. Had a steering shift installed went to pick it up and it would not start or make any sound. They kept it and the next day said it was a bad solenoid in the starter. They said starter can out with zero symptoms or notice. They replaced the starter and it still will not start. It cranks but will not turn over.

Hi,

First, can you explain what was replaced in the steering? I'm not sure what you are referring to when you say shift.

Also, does the starter engage and the engine not start, or does the starter not work at all? If it isn't working at all, here is a link that explains what and how to check it:

Let me know what was done and exactly what is happening.

Take care,
Joe
