My vehicle was recently stolen, I recovered it, but the ignition system was damaged. I replaced the ignition key cylinder, the ignition switch, and the starter with solenoid. If I turn key forward , crawl underneath, and jump terminals on solenoid it will start. Something is preventing rv from starting by turning the key and I don't know what? the rv is a Catalina Sport Coachman and it has v-10 Triton engine

Any suggestions

Neutral safety switch and then another solenoid tucked in near the battery.

Welcome to the forum!

I hate that happened, but I'm glad you have it back. The ignition is a FoMoCo system so the Ford information would be right. The ignition system is OEM.

It was the starter solenoid relay hidden behind the battery. Had to buy an aftermarket part, which had terminals reversed.

thank you very much for replies

much appreciated!
