Who knows how to do this? I was told you touch both sides of the solenoid with a wire. Need specific instructions please.

It is way safer to touch the two smaller posts on the solenoid. Touching the battery cable posts on the solenoid will teach you a serious lesson if you are not real cautious.

My response get deeted? I've always touch a screwdriver between the bigger post and the other post. I thought that the I post is cold until it gets power from the inside of the selinoid from the big post that all the wires bolt onto.

I did say don't touch anything metal with your skin while doing this.

Here's a photo of the hookup for a remote starter. Same for what you're doing. Like rjewkes said, just use a screwdriver.

Oh great, first we give away all our theft-proofing secrets, and now we tell the bad guys exactly how to hot-wire the starter!

BTW, you guys forgot to mention you got to add a wire from the plus side of the battery to the plus side of the coil, to supply ignition power!

I actually took out my radiator support and inner fenders to powder coat and am trying to start the engine but keep hearing the voltage regulator crying or something. I figured it and the solenoid were grounded to the sheet metal and it's been sitting there since july without running.

Isn't there a remote starter you can buy that will crank the truck while you are under the hood?

Yes, there are remote starters you can buy. To get it to run, you either have to have the key on, or run a jumper wire as Hiboy said. Hiboy, I once did that with a '68 a friend was looking at to buy from another friend...the seller forgot to leave a key, and the maybe buyer was all sad about not getting to drive it. I whipped out a jumper wire and a screwdriver, and voila`!! Off we went. Of course he wasn't too impressed when he realized how easy that made it for thieves.

i have the ignition switch bypass that was made to keep them from having to replace the switch and tumbler.

Musta cost about 30.00 bucks though to bypass the replacement of a 10 dollar set of peices. Of course having the doors rekeyed will cost. Unless i have them rekey the switch to match the doors.

I'm just glad they didn't butcher the harness like i previously thought they had.

the last secret would be to watch out for the spring loaded knife under the seat.
