1986F150Six Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 All I can say is, one thing at a time, one piece at a time. I want to get it back in shape to run as a daily driver again. Gary refers to this a peeling the onion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdWrknTrk Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 That not spinning over with the key is the next step. Did the rats eat the wiring to the neutral safety switch? Will it turn over in neutral, but not in park? You can jumper the pink & lt blue (?) wires in the cab to avoid that whole leg of the start circuit. If it works then, you've narrowed it down to a few feet of wire. It could also be the ignition switch adjustment, or the pot metal actuator is broken.

ArdWrknTrk Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Close, Jim. Red/light blue, as shown here: IDK what the configuration of C128 is, but remember C190 can be jumped with a fuse. If not you could use a little piece of wire, or even a paperclip carefully because no insulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Fox and Hound but never thought to use it on my truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Yup. I'm interested. I have a Fox and Hound but never thought to use it on my truck. The Triplett Fox & Hound is the only one I've been around. But as I looked just now there are lots of versions thereof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
