I have a 91 2wd p/u with 242,000 miles on it. I went to start the truck the other day and it wouldn't start just clicked and clicked. Last year I replaced the starter contacts and it worked like a charm, so I know it is not the contacts. I checked the starter relay and it seems to be working.

I checked the clutch switch and when I test it with a ohm meter, it reads 0 with the switch out and when I push the switch in it goes from a number down to 0--question--is this normal. I would have thought as long as you are applying current it should not be 0. Is this switch bad?

I replaced the ignition switch--so I know it's not that.

How do I test if the starter is getting current to it from the ignition switch. I have read a few things, but it is not clear where I put the leads of the meter and what setting the meter should be on.

Is there anything else that I am missing in testing?

Thanks for any answers and Happy New Year!

Randy

Before I go pulling out the starter I wiuld like to know if the clutch switch is bad. When I test it with a ohm meter, it reads 0 with the switch out and when I push the switch in it goes from a number down to 0--question--is this normal. I would have thought as long as you are applying current it should not be 0. Is this switch bad?
