I already replaced all of the cables, terminals, and battery, and the starter, and the solenoid yet when I turn the ignition the starter just bumps and the wire to the positive terminal gets warm. The truck will just not start. I can do a field test on the starter and it will engage but when I put it back in, nothing!! Could it possibly be the ignition switch that is bad?? Please help!! Thank you.
