Eric,
You seem to find the nicest Broncos right before Christmas, congrats! Love that Boxwood green.... Is this another present or are you keeping this one for yourself? Hope it’s a simple fix, then you can pretend you haven’t found it so you can continue to hide out in the garage ;D

Actually I sold the 66 I bought for my wife last year in order to buy this one. It was a better deal, and I liked it more.

She wasn't happy that I did the deal and told her about it afterwards, LOL.

Thank you!

That is a great looking Bronco but does it have an automatic transmission?If so DirtDonk asked about the neutral safety switch.That would kill the engine and also not let the engine turn over if bad so if an auto I would check that one item first.

It is an automatic. I was planning on checking on the NSS, but I didn't think that would kill a running engine, as stated.

All those nice tools, along with a nice shop...and you're asking us to debug your Bronco? :)

I DESPISE electrical issues. On a cellular level. I can do most everything else myself, but I've always hated electrical. I know it's a simple system. I know you can quickly isolate the problems. I just don't want to, LOL.

A volt meter would eliminate the nss in 30 seconds, another 30 seconds you can eliminate the ignition switch and 30 more the solenoid, maybe a minute later the battery cables.

Get a voltmeter

My bad,NSS won't kill a running engine just keeps it from starting when bad.But the more I look at your Bronco I say that it is one of the nicest I have seen. :cool:
