91 bronco

[micahharvey]

I have a 1991 bronco with the 351 5.8l engine. I tied to start truck and i felt no resistence in the ignition switch. when i turn the key the power (dash lights, radio ect) come on but the truck wont start. I pulled the ignition switch out and it definantely was broken so I put a new ignition switch in and it still wont start. I played with the shifter and at one point it wouldnt come out of neutral. I took a section of the plastic off of the steering column and did notice a shaft running parralell to the steering wheel shaft and it is moving in relation to the turning of the key. I tried to move it a little further forward and aft but it seemed to be moving its full travel. I did not disconnect the battery when i did all of this.

Can someone please help me with my problem or give me some ideas as to what might be wrong.

thank you very much

Try the adjustment procedure. http://broncozone.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=7243 Also, did you follow the procedure for replacing the key cylinder?

Good luck,

I didnt realize there was an adjustment procedure. The only thing i didnt do was disconect the battery. I reinstalled with battery disconnected and had the same problem. I jumped the solenoid with a screwdriver and it started. When i turn the key it just doesnt feel right, there seems to be no resistance when i turn it. I guess ill look into adjustment procedure

Thanks for the advice
