so I have acc power lights fan radio etc, however I have no sign of crank solenoid doesn't actuate no starter noise no nothing... any ideas??
(replaced plugs, plug wires, coil, battery and starter solenoid)

 

Have you tried to start it from the solenoid? Did the problem exist before you changed the solenoid?

 

I jumped the previous solenoid and nothing haven't tried on the new one

 

 

 

Check if there's 12v to the solenoid when the key is turned. If not the switch is probably bad. If it clicks the starter is bad.

 

Not even a click.. only two things I can think of is nss and the key switch..

 

Are you getting 12V to the S terminal on the solenoid with the key in the start position?

 

On my '68 the nss is at the base of the steering column inside the truck. Short the 2 wires together to bypass it. Mine failed in the '70s and I haven't had one on it since. Connect a 12v jumper from the battery to the s terminal of the solenoid and see if it cranks. You'll have to turn the key on first.

 

It was the nss I just held the shifter up a little more and it cranked... (Thanks everyone for your help)

 

Glad you found it.

 

The NSS on my F100 is the same way. Been like that as long as I can remember. Gotta push the gear selector up just a bit to get it to crank.

Think of it as a anti-theft feature!

 

Glad you, found and fixed it.
