If it's the ignition your vehicles motor will not turn over at all. If it does turn over it's either one of three things: battery, alternator, or starter. You can take your starter, battery and alternator to a local advance auto parts and they will test the charge for you. That will tell you what you need to know.

1993 ford e350 starter won't disengage new starter new starter solenoid new battery any ideas?

hey dude this is tatum.. try ur switch for your ignition .. some system involving ignition to solenoid ciruit system which involves starter engagment when key is inserted to ignition switch Outside chance that the flexplate maybe damaged or the starter is not "Shimmed" correctly and not allowing the starter toothed wheel to disengage. In some cases the starter may need to be "Shimmed" to move it away from the flexplate so that the gear does not get jammed. In any case, if you find the problem please let us know 8-) TommyTrouble

How do you jump the starter on a 94 Ford Escort?

I had to do this once. Look behind the engine by the firewall, you will see the starter, you will see a big wire and a small wire, unplug the small wire from the starter, get yourself a long peice of electrical wire, wrap one end around the small terminal on the starter, then turn the ignition on, then touch the other end on the positive battery cable then the engine should turn over, if it doesnt then you need a new starter.If it does most likely you need a new ignition switch or relay.
