Asked by Trevorstruckwontstar... May 19, 2017 at 07:18 PM about the 1996 Ford F-250 2 Dr XL 4WD Extended Cab SB HD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I just got an f250 1996 and it got stuck in
first gear and after looking at it I found the
cable was binded and so I got it in park
and now it won't start. It does turn over or
anything, it doesn't feel like the ignition is  
engaging. What's the problem?

tennisshoes I'm not sure exactly what your talking about but this may answer your question, I jacked up the truck and made sure the wheels did lock up in park

YOU NEED POWER IN AND OUT OF THE SWITCH AND PLUG IS OK.HERES ANOTER IDEA.If the engine will not crank at all, it's typical of a neutral safety switch that is experiencing electrical issues. In this case, no power is flowing through the neutral safety switch to the starter relay. This prevents the starter motor from cranking the engine. This symptom indicates a completely open electrical circuit inside the neutral safety switch which may be due to a faulty relay, ****blown fuse****, or electrical problem with the switch itself. If the issue is with the switch, it will need to be replaced.
