    First post guys, so hey!
    I have an 89, 300 6cyl, and the thing wouldn't start, so I put a solenoid on, then charged the battery, and went
    To start it, and it clicked a few times, then the starter kicks in, and won't kick off. Had to get out and pull the battery cable. What could the potential problems be? I bought a new starter, but haven't tried it yet. I have a 2004 that I drive daily, but I want to fix this old bad. Ou for a farm truck.

    I had a 88 f150 that did the same thing on me after I put a new solenoid on it... I had to take the solenoid back and get another one something made it stick together and wouldn't disengage..

    Thanks bro, I'll try and get another solenoid tomorrow. I just didn't want to burn up a new Starter. Also I was hoping it wasn't the key switch.
