the solenoid is about a $15 dollar part.... it might not even cost that much.... i know exactly what your talking about with the ignition switch.... did yours have a steel rod going to it (looks kinda like a coat hanger)....the one i replaced did, and you might wanna check and see if the rod is getting stuck on anything, because that rod connects to the key switch, and thats what starts your truck....i may be wrong with the steel rod, but thats how it was on my dads ol' dodge ramcharger....

I guess you just have to reconnect a starter solenoid control wire. But i can't tell what color it is.

ok so its not the solenoid. it has to be a wire. the switch works fine, solenoid works fine, any chance it could be a part on the starter?
