Long time no see brothers and sisters,

I recently purchased a Bronco 5.8 from the original owner and the PUSHROD and STARTER SWITCH are gone. The wires to the switch are cut but there. I need to start the vehicle! Is there a way I can start it without these components?

I’m sure there is right??




Starter switch wires

Lemme know if the picture is available. I’m on mobile.

 

JUST TO CLARIFY! I meant the starter rod. The long piece that slides into the starter switch is gone, said it broke. So all I got are these wires hanging loose

 

Make a list of the colors....

Automatic or Manual ?

Strip a 1/4 inch of insulation from each wire.

Careful; Yellow (37) wires are from Battery and are Hot with 12 volts.

 

Do you have a heavy duty set of these ?

Make sure she is in Park or Neutral.

So, clip or twist one of the Yellow wires to the Red/Light Green wire.

Then just touch the Red/Light Blue wire to either Yellow wire until it starts.

 

You could just strip one of the Yellow wires a little more and the Red/Light Green so you can twist those 2 together.

 

Just don't let the Yellow/Hot wires touch any metal (ground).

 

 

 

Just disconnect the Red/Light Green wire from the Yellow and it should shut down.

 

FYI;
Red/Light Blue - Starter Solenoid - momentary contact

Black/Light Green – Wipers/Windows, Brake Anti-Lock etc.
Gray/White – A/C - Heater, etc.
Purple/White - Instrument Cluster

No need to connect this one for now;
Black/Pink - same as R/LG in Start Position (not Brown/Pink)

 

 

 

You just hot-wired your truck !!
