I think my Bronco is protesting being parked outside all night.

I swear my Bronco is a moody child. It had to be parked out of the garage and in the driveway overnight for the last two days as I needed the garage space to work on my sons car. I just climbed in to go to 7-11 and get a Big gulp. I turned the key on and heard the fuel pump do it's usual prime. Then I turned the key to crank..............and silence. I tried all gear positions with the key held in crank and nothing. :mad:
I lift the hood and find the Neutral Start Switch (NSS) is disconnected. I swear this Bronco has a mind of it's own.

Fortunately it was an easy fix. But unfortunately, in a moment of weakness instead of just closing the hood I let my eyes wander. And noticed that my Coolant overflow jug is dry. This jug and radiator are less than a year old.

Putting a positive spin on things I now get to drive the Bronco around aimlessly, maybe even take it to lunch to pressurize the cooling system so I can find the leak.

LOL I had a 67 Mustang that was like that. Ran flawless ever time I drove alone. As soon as I tried to take my girlfriend at the time for a ride in it there was an issue. It would just cut off driving down the road or it would vapor lock and not want to start. I think it was jealous!
