rrgrassi The ignition switch is in the cluster. You could also have a bad neutral safety switch. Have you moved the gear selector around when trying to start the engine?
I have tried moving it around, does nothing different, I have checked the ground strap for it by the tranny though, where is the neutral safety switch?

kerry edwards You can bypass the ignition switch and do what your mechanic did by jumping the 1st and third wires (screws) in the junction box on the right front inner fender. This will allow you to get by until you resolve the switch problem. There's a thread here somwhere describing your problem as caused by dirty contacts and a description of how to clean them.
The junction box is that the box with the springs? and it has a plug going into it? 1st and 3rd wires of the starter? dirty contacts in the junction box? sorry for the odd questions I'm new to D.I.Y repairs and mechanics in general , I will be taking a diesel engine course soon

Thanks for everyones Help.
