Hey guys, my buddy and me did a 4.0 swap on his ranger (Had a 2.9) all the wiring, engine, trans, ect... is in. when I turn the key I get lights on the dash and ect... when I turn the key to start nothing happens, I can hear it click up near the battery. if I jump it at the starter solenoid or the solenoid on the fender it will fire right up no problems. I am getting as far as we can tell 12 volts at the starter, but it will not engage. Really need to get this as fixed as fast as we can, not sure what we might be overlooking.
More info: 1989 Ranger and 1990 4.0 ranger Donor.
Have a manual computer and wiring needed.
All connectors and grounds look good.
We have tried 2-3 NSS that goes on the clutch.
tried a second ignition switch that goes on the top of the Colum still not effect.
Tried multiple solenoids that go on the fender.
Have tried a different starter.
I believe the power path goes; Battery --> Ignition switch ----> NSS ----> Starter solenoid?
