I bought a 1990 f150 straight six with the 5 speed manual about a year ago. She has been a "Trooper"! 2 days ago I finished putting gas in her before work, got in and turned the ignition and it just felt different. Everything comes on... just NO Starter Motor action! I was able to use a screw driver to jump the solenoid and get to work. I would much rather just install a push button start switch and I tried just wiring it between the two posts on the solenoid, needless to say... it did NOT WORK! Any Suggestions??? Is what I am trying to do even possible??? HELP!

 

This is the '97-03 section, you will probably have better luck in the '87-96 section.
