brand new......could be bad though ? maybe ..put it in yesterday

 

the switch is bad

 

yeah, if your solenoid is new, it's more than likely that it's your switch. try that. there is still a possibility you got a shoddy switch and it's busted internally.

 

by the way he explained it, it sounds bad.

 

ahhh, i missed something there. okay. sorry.

 

It's your switch then. I would guess. I understand what you are saying about "no spring" when you turn the key. You have to manually return from "start" to "run". If the spring is broken inside, it is probably touching something inside. At any rate, you have a failed spring. It is metal. You are playing with electrical. Do the math! Sumpin aint rat in thar! Good luck!
