Need help with Ignition

I have a 1994 F-150 with tilt steering wheel. It will not turn over when I try to start it. However I can jump it at fenderwell and get it to run. I have replaced starter, fender solenoid, ignition switch and neutral safety switch on side of transmission but still no luck. I have voltage to starter but willl not engage starter from cab, ( ignition switch) . Any Ideas. Thanks

I would suspect the lower actuator may be broken. Very common problem even on newer trucks. Take a look at these post and follow all internal links in all the posts. There will be at least (5) links. You should be able to get most of it from this. If you have specific questions just post back.

No problem. There is a wealth of info. floating around on this forum. I think that the actuator is pobably a dealer only part. If you need more help just post.
