No Start......HELP
I have a 1990 F150 XLT Lariat 351 recently ive been having starting issues. I replaced the solenoid/relay on the fender. And it started fine, then i though ill put my subwoofer cable on it too. then after a few days it wouldnt start so i went out and bought another relay/solenoid thinking that i blew it or something so i just intalled it today and wouldnt you know it.....nothing. I thought maybe i could jump the relay by touching the two posts together with a wrench and still nothing. NEED HELP THIS IS DRIVING ME NUTS

Need some more info here. Are you getting power to everything else? Have you measured current at the solenoid? At the battery? You might just have a bad connection at the battery... maybe a bad cable.

Maybe it's an issue with the ignition box, but first try pushing the gear shifter into park more and holding it there with try to start it. It maybe the neutral safety switch, sometimes it needs adjusted.
