    1986 f250 6.9 IDI wont crank.

    I hooked the old solenoid back up and jumped from the battery to the small post=cranked. So old solenoid is good. I looked on the column and the ignition switch connector seems loose so i pushed it down, nothing. When i am not pushing down on it, it is a bit loose. I am guessing that means i...
