About Van Expertise I can answer most questions concerning 4X4 engine, drive line, suspension, electrical, and fuel, both diesel and gasoline. Ford, GM, and Dodge, old and new.
Experience I have been maintaining a fleet of approximately 55 light, medium and heavy vehicles for over 20 years. Most are 4X4 pickups and off road fire fighting trucks.
Question I always start my truck with the steering column up. The last 2 days when in the upright position the truck won't start. Out of curiosity, today while driving down the road I put the steering wheel up and the truck died in the middle of the road. Any suggestions. Thanks
Answer Hi Dennis,
I am much more familiar with Chevy's, where the actual ignition switch is down on the steering column, and connected to the ignition switch by a rod.
The switch itself is adjustable on the column, and changes the relationship of the switch to the steering wheel, which could easily cause the symptoms you are describing.
See if yours has a similar arrangement.
Otherwise, I would suspect an intermittent open in a wire in the harness.
