Does someone know if my ignotion switch needs to be relaced because when I turn it to start the truck it kinda makes a clickin noise in the column and wont even let me turn it over?

Answer 1

I think that your problem will be in the starter. I think that the solenoid is not kicking the bendix into the starter gear. Check the wiring, check for a good ground. If that is not it pull the starter and remove the solenoid and replace it. Your local auto parts store can test your starter to see if it is working. Jeff

if you think its the starter, remove starter and bench test it. if you can't do this at home you take it to your nearest autozone or checkers and they can check it for you. if the starter is good. reinstall starter and try a remote ignition switch. you can find them for less than 10 bucks with 5 feet of lead wire and alligator clips. hook it up to stater. turn key on and start with remote and it should run. turn off key and try key start again. if it doesn't start that way you know you an ignition switch problem. this method should until you get a new switch.

I had same prob I tapped the side of starter litely with hamer and tried again to start and it started up it, ended up being the starter and I replaced starter, problem solved
