No Start, no power to solenoid

I'm curious if you pulled codes and got a fault code: 67 NSS ......?

I've experienced all of these issues so:

(1) In some cases all of us at one time or another have had to "jiggle' the column shifter to get the vehicle to start because over time things losen up from DD useage.....in the Haynes Manual transmission section and www.broncolinks.com there's a diagram referring to "Point A" which is the column shift linkage and the transmission tab.

A sure way to correct the "jiggling" is to go underneath the BKO on the drivers side and LOSEN the "nut" on column shift linkage and tranny tab JUST ENOUGH to click the tranny tab all the way back until it stops then 2 clicks forward and tighten the "nut".....now the column shift linkage and transmission are in sync when you go thru the grears, assuming the steering column is in resonable condition this should help correct that problem.......TOO MANY TIMES THE NSS IS DEEMED THE CULPRIT for none start when it isn't so this is a simple check to make sure....

(2) There is also another PRNDDL adjustment, but you need to remove the black plastic collar on the steering wheel, this is usually done when an actuator breaks and using pliers drive the rod downward with key on to start.....there is usually a white cable that wraps around and attached to a small mm screw IIRC that when lossened a bit it allows you to adjust the "needle" that registers on each letter of the PRNDDL......becarefull because it's attached with a very fine wire loop and easily broken.....

(3) Regarding the starter relay, you should always check the (S) side for voltage along with the condition of that cable to the stater motor, no voltage, no start.....starter relays can be tested free.....

(4) The "upper ignition actuator" is another culprit because they're made of cheap pot metal.....and a PITA job to do........

I realize not all BKO's are mechanically identical but this should help for a quick diagnosis when this occurs........

Good Luck ~ :thumbup
