I checked all my safety switches and they seem good. The one is a little goofy but looks good. So I jumped it from the solenoid again and it wont start unless the key is on the far right position (turnover position) it started but once I let off the key it died again. It was running under its own power without the starter running while the engine was. Do you guys still think theirs a bad safety switch or fuse??
In addition to jumping the starter, the engine stop solenoid on the fuel injection pump needs to be powered. I see a five amp fuse in the circuit feeding the engine stop solenoid from the key switch. Check it first.
If the fuse is OK, remove the wiring harness from the solenoid and check it for power on one of the two wires. Check for power with the key in the run and start positions. Power should be present in both positions.
Check the ground quality in the solenoid wire harness by using a test light connected to the battery + and touching the probe to the ground wire in the harness at the solenoid.
If the presence of power or a good ground source is not obvious, connect one terminal of the solenoid to ground and the other to 12 volts and then jump the starter. The engine should start and continue to run.
Do these things and post again.
Please don***8217;t just find the problem and not give a final update.
We need the feedback and if you don***8217;t you don***8217;t provide it, someone at a future time may see this and not be helpful.
The feedback not only confirms the accuracy of the advice you were given but how well the advice was described to someone like you. Advice can be too technical and not understood or based upon assuming the person with the problem has no knowledge at all and be unnecessarily lengthy and too basic,
