Post by scootro »

1994 Ford F-150 lightning.

My truck wouldn't start today and I know the ignition cylinder is wore out. Sometimes you can start it without the key. Today I turned the key and it wouldn't start but the fuel pump kicked on and all dash lights came on and also I have brand battery. it was strange the key did everything but start my truck. i gave up and after an hour i went back to the garage an tried it again it started just fine

Would you think that's my problem???

I would start with the lock cylinder, double check the wiring in the steering column. If that doesn't resolve the issue I would look toward a ignition control module.

If it does it again you might reach over the steering arm with your left arm and pull up on the gear shift lever while trying to start it, on older ford trucks when the neutral safety switch is not engaged fully they wouldn’t start without doing this.Good luck
