Last month I bought a 1987 Ford Ranger in very good condition except that it has been sitting for 12 years.
Towed it home and replaced the 'brittle' Starter Soleniod and dead battery. Also replaced one of the two wall mounted relays. Fluids still reasonably good so - with bone dry gas tanks, tried to turn it over.
Cranked smoothly but after several seconds I realized that it wouldn't stop cranking...... removed the key - still cranking.....disconnected the battery.
Tested the new solenoid and it was good.
Any suggestions ?
