Hi
Drove my Bronco to a friends house about a mile away, no problem. Came out after 30 minutes and was unable to start the truck. I put the key in the ignition, turn it to the start position, the fuel pump makes the noise it makes, but the key doesn't seem to have that feel like it is making contact with whatever it is supposed to make contact with to start (the feel of pushing against a switch). The key doesn't spring back from the start position to the run position.
Next day went back and friend shorted the solenoid with the key in the start position - started the truck first time. He suggested replacing the solenoid which I did, but still no luck. I also replaced the key assembly in the column, with no success. What do I check next? Why am I not feeling spring pressure between run and start positions and why is the key not springing back from start to run positions?
I'd be grateful for any suggestions!
Thanks
Nick
