    1990 Ford F350 no crank

    Thank you gnathv I tried jumping the starter solenoid terminals and I got a spark but the starter did not turn. I think I need to climb under and see if the wiring is good at the starter.

    How to tell if the fuel gauge is broken?

    Sorry man, what is a FSV? Float switch valve? I am a newbie, sorry if that is dumb question, just trying to learn and understand, I would rather save some money if I can and do something myself then pay some guy to do it for me. Thanks
