Car won't start with key switch but will if you jumper over solenoid on starter?
Check the neutral safety switch,it is located on the transmission or on the steering column ,under the dash.
Can a bad ignition switch keep the starter engaged?
Probably not a bad ignition switch, but more likely a bad starter solenoid. It takes a lot of current to get a starter to turn, to much to go through such a small switch like the ignition switch. The ignition switch actually controls a relay(solenoid) which can handle the needed current to get the starter going. On a lot of modern cars the solenoid is built into the starter unlike older cars and trucks where it was mounted on the firewall between the battery and the starter.
Can't start 1989 Chevy Suburban with the key only by directly wiring starter is there a fuse link from the ignition wiring to the starter?
Generally the problem is either a defective neutral safety switch or a bad ignition switch (not ignition key lock).
How do you replace a starter switch in a 1987 Chrysler LeBaron Town and Country Turbo with a tilt wheel?
There is a solonoid on the starter and the ignition switch is on the steering column.
When will a starter fail to disengage?
A starter will not disengage if the ignition switch is stuck or if the solenoid has jammed. This will cause the starter to constantly receive power.
Does the ABS breaking controller continue to be powered when the vehicle is not running?
The ignition switch has to be on for the ABS to operate.
Why does starter continue to run when key is in lock position on a 1987 Ford F-250?
It is probably caused by the ignition switch internals shifting (I had a similar problem before) and it turned out to be the ignition switch)
Where is the starter relay on an 86 jetta?
there is no relay for the starter. there is a solenoid (switch) and ignition switch. the solenoid is part of the starter (small cylindrical shape above starter housing. the solenoid has the battery and ignition connections). and the ignition switch is where the car-key goes. you need at least 8v from the ignition to the solenoid for the starter to operate. use a multimeter. otherwise check your starter - battery connections. otherwise replace the starter. otherwise, take off the starter and inspect inside the starter housing. if the starter is clicking but not turning the engine the starter teeth aren't engaging with the teeth on the flywheel. get a manual to the car here: http://www.germanautoparts.com/Books/Volkswagen
Why two solenoids for a 1977 Gran Marquis one on starter and one on firewall?
My '77 F250 also has two solenoids for the starter, one on the fender and the other on the starter. The one on the starter is the one you'd expect and has a mechanical function, it moves the starter gear to mesh with the ring gear on the flywheel to turn the engine over. The solendoid on the fender has an electrical function as a relay. A relay is basically a switch operated by another switch. In this case, the controlling switch is the ignition switch and the switch it operates is the solenoid. The current needed to operate the starter is so great that it would wear out your ignition switch plus require huge wires running from the battery to the dash so instead of switching this huge current, the ignition switch switches only the smaller current needed to operate the solenoid and the solenoid switches the huge current. When you turn the ignition switch on, it energizes the solenoid which closes the circuit that supplies current to the starter.

1995 Dakota won't start battery good starter good will push start can arch the strater and will start and run replaced ignition switch still nothing?
might be starter relay, or the crank circuitry from the switch or to the starter from the relay. I would trace back from the starter to the starter relay back through the neutral safety switch to the ignition switch.
No voltage at starter solenoid replaced ignition switch and starter relay?
Your neutral safety switch-try putting car in neutral and trying it
