Now the thing won't start

I just got back in the car at the gas station and the thing wouldn't start. The battery is new and I had power, so, I jumped the solenoid and the thing started. Ideas? I contacted the previous owner and he said he had never had a problem. Thanks in advance. Craig.

 

Sounds like a bad solenoid. If you can get it started by jumping than its a bad solenoid.

 

Thanks for your reply, Mike. Replaced the solenoid. Still no dice.

 

Check the ignition switch.

 

Dropped the steering column. Apparently the ignition switch had loosened. Readjusted. Good. Thanks. Craig.
