i replaced the switch and it started fine the whole day many times but the next day it started doing the same thing. which is when i try to start it it wont start or get spark and some time it gets stuck it the starter keeps crankin, even if i turn the key all the way back and take it out. it all started one day when the truck just died heres that thread...https://www.f150forum.com/f10/95-f-150-no-spark-24205/
does any one have any idea's its sounds like a short to me right? and it mees the switch up again??

 

sounds like the starter solenoid by the battery

 

can i check that if so how? would that sort the switch out? or would it still be good?

 

if i were you id just get a new one there only like 10 bucks. but it will keep the starter engaged even when the key is off.

 

i replaced it and got a new ignition switch at the same time just i case the switch went bad and hooked everythaing up and then went to hook the batt. up and it started crankin with the key off?? is that mean the starter its self is bad or a short???

 

It might be in the column. When you turn the key it moves a slide which in turn moves something else to make electrical contact. I think, maybe, the slide is spring loaded. You would have to disassemble some of the column to check it. But first I would look around everywhere for bare/burnt/touching wires. Somehow the starter circuit is remaining closed.
You can have the starter tested at most auto parts stores.

 

ive tried it without the key i tryed with the switch only before i reasembled it

 

i got uder the truck it looked to me as if the started has a solenoid also is this possable 1995 is the year

 

Yes it is, the solenoid on the fender sends a signal to the solenoid on the starter telling it to engage. While this seems redundant it helps when you need to add a remote starter switch for diagnostic work. If the one on the fender is bad it can short out and keep the starter running all the time. There should be a small signal wire that connects usually with a slip connector to the small, about a 1/8 inch diameter terminal. Pull this wire off and connect the battery, if it is the switch you will not crank over, if it is the solenoid it will start to crank.

 

well i did that it didnt crank after i hooked it back up it would crank it crank 2 time and then it got stuck again im starting to think maybe its the comp. would this make it do the stuff im talking about, sometimes it gets spark sometimes it dont sometimes it would try to stay running most the time it dont, sometimes it gets stuck cranking, the check engine light is not on, but when i try to check for code my check engine light came on for a split second and went off never came back on when i was trying read the codes but when i took the jumper wire off the light started working agine?????
