starting problems
my truck is doing all sorts of wacking things...when i turn key the glow plug controller is either clicking like mad or doing nothing at all...and the "jump the solenoid with the screwdriver" is not doing anything but an occasional click. HELP guys! I need some professional hill billy troubleshooting here! i just replaced the key and cyclinder in the column but it stall has a ton of wierd play and i can giggle it to make the connection flicker on and off.
does anyone know what the 4 wires under the key cyclinder do? the colors are:
yellow and blue striped
blue and black striped
black
black with purple little marks
the black one with purple little marks has a plastic piece on the end and its just dangling there...it has a tiny little metal tab that looks like some sort terminal...does it go in the cylinder somewhere. it looks like it clicks in somewhere...arggg! thanks for spending the time to read this-Nick in ohio
oh, i have a 93 f 350 with 7.3 non turbo

Sounds like you have a bad connection at the battery or batteries. Take the battery cables off and clean them. Have you checked the batteries also? One of them may be bad.
Some of the wires you asked about sound like the cruise control and horn wiring.
