No start
88 f150 M5od 5 speed 5.0 4x4
the other morning went to start truck and got about 1 turn out of motor then all electrical went dead. No hazards so I mean dead.
Redid a bunch of grounds etc.. fuses ok. It looks like ground on negative post was cause. Put a new one and until I really squashed the heck out of it did it seem to give me power once again.
The above leads up to its current state, it is taking many tries of depressing clutch and toggling ignition to get truck to fire.
It is not working on a regular basis but very random.
My first thought is neutral safety switch ?
I just don’t know if the lectrical dead correlates to this now random starting issue.
I have felt that the clutch has to be mashed right to floor to get to start.
I have read that there is a bypass on automatics under dash that can be used on manuals.
Anyone have insight please.

Thanks sandy
I did check a bunch of old threads regarding the safety switch.
I found it odd that when truck lost power due to bad ground the no start happened.
I wound up using info off this forum to bypass switch.
Maybe not a fan of this but truck is now running.
