My 1987 Chevrolet Silverado won't start. I just replaced my starter and it still...

...won't start. NO CLUE HELP ME!? The battery and alternator and the positive cables are all new so I just dont know what it is. Please help me. I was told it could be the fusible link wire coming from somewhere that burnt up or maybe the ignition switch is bad because before it took a crap the truck would take a few turns of the key to even do anything then it got worse and worse until I got to this point. PLEASE HELP!!!!

it sounds like your ignition switch is either out of adjustment or has gone south.it is located on the steering column and is operated by a rod from the switch

If your lights work, I would bet the ignition switch is bad. But replacing it may not be that easy. My ignition switch on an 83 Silverado went bad and the dealer wanted $450 to replace it as I recall.

What Mike V said, sounds like the switch has issues.

The switch in one of these trucks takes about a half hour to change with basic hand tools.
