starting issues

So I have a 99 F250 with a 7.3 Diesel. Just recently it will not start using the key. If i cross the terminals on the solinoid it will start or if I use the remote start it will start or also if I push the remote start button then turn the key it will start but if I just turn the key wait for glow plugs then turn key to try starting it then it will not work. Any suggestion?

I turn the key and absolutley nothing happend it wont roll over or click nothing but if i use remote start it works fine. I figured it was the ignition switch but that didnt fix the issue at all.

Check out the links in this post, https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post10099133 maybe they will help, I'm not familiar with the way remote start works, but could be just linkage adjustments. Have you tried with the key to start with it in neutral?

Well sorry it wont help much then. I would have to say you need to find out if you have voltage going to the solenoid when the key is turned? I feel like it is going to be a wiring issue.
