Hello guys, I am here with some issues that I can not figure out. A couple of days ago I tried to start my Mark VIII and all I got was slow cranking from the engine. Battery? Starter? I tried to jump her but I got the same results. I climbed under her and removed the power wire at starter solenoid, cleaned it and put it back on. Same results, slow cranking motor. Just to make sure it was not my battery I took the battery out of my 98 F150 (same size battery) and put it in her. Now here is where everything went south. The ignition key would not turn, steering not locking and the shift lever is not locking either. How the, what the..... Anyone have any ideas where to start looking to resolve this issue? I love this car but if I can not figure this one out she may have to go. Thanks guys!
