My 1997 f150 wont start. I have replaced the starter battery, and it doesnt make any noises once the key is turned. The ignition system has been checked and is fine. I have reason to believe that the transmission range sensor is not functioning properly or at all. It has been sitting for the past five years. Any ideas?
