Won't start

hmm, have you tried a new Solenoid?


See my 69 convertible and the VMF parking lot at: http://www.geocities.com/Bishir1/FrontPage.html

Always check cheapest things first. Check battery cable connections/cleanliness. Could be bad solenoid. If shorting the solenoid cranks the starter, most likely is not starter. Could also be loose/broken wiring on ignition swx. Check all for good continuity, +12v when applied.
Good luck.

Also if it's an AT, check the neutral/park switch.

Almost definitely the solenoid. My Mustang did the exact same thing; as did my old beater Ford work truck. I put in the new solenoid; works like a champ.

I'm with 68GT390FB4sp, mine is doing the same thing, and my transmission guy told me that its probably the Neutral safety switch. You can get one of these from California Mustang for like $29, if you're in the area... (PN: 7A247 - A, B, or C depending on trans...) BTW, I haven't tested this yet... have to get the engine back in the car first... Hope you get it running again!
