How do you troubleshoot starter Ford 1997 F-250?

Answer 1

first test battery to make sure it has a full charge

check all fuses, there is one fuse will stop vehicle from turning over

using ignition key, try to start vehicleif lights on dash dim u know ignition switch is good

with vehicle in neutral,and wheels chocked,use a screw driver to cross the poles on the solenoid

this solenoid will be located on passenger side fender under the hood

if solenoid is good you will hear it clicking,and should turn starter over if starter is good

if starter didnt work

get under vehicle and use screwdriver to short poles on starter

if solenoid on fender is bad and starter is good starter will work

if starter is bad starter will not work

then remove starter from vehicle have it bench tested and most likely throw in a new starter
