[QUOTE="tinman, post: 6269258, member: 11821"] before you take the starter off and bin it just check have you got 12v at the little wire that excites the solenoid, that's the small one between the two big ones on the solenoid itself, it will be a single wire on either a spade or fixed with a screw. its the one that sends 12v from the key switch, don't just check it with a multi meter as that will give only some indication that it works under no load, you need to load it with the likes of a bulb with a wire off the bulb to an earth, see if the bulb lights every time you turn the key, if it dosent then there is a problem on that line, either on a safety switch as mentioned or in the key switch or somewhere along the line of it, usual suspect can be a joint between the wire where it comes out of the bulkhead (outside the cab) and the starter solenoid. if the bulb lights every time without fail when the key is turned then im afraid your starter is at fault, if you have to buy a starter get yourself a "geared " one as they are known as, they arent geared per say, they just turn faster but make a massive difference when starting an engine.
