Fords are notorius for starters selinoids sticking especially if there has been a weather event like, rain, cold weather, or sometimes if the sun goes down....lol For a quick start....locate the starter....tap on the unit as someone tries the ignition....usually pops right off.... Now for the bad news.....you have the purchase of a new starter in your future.
