The relay should be bolted on the inner fender. Follow the positive battery cable, it goes from the battery straight to the relay.
on the left hand side of the motor on the wall should have a 3 prong black cord in it
no
crawl under your truck.... look on the drivers side ehwere the engine meets the tranny.... its cylinder shaped and is easy to figure out how to replace..
this should be pretty easy. 1st disconnect the battery. Next losene the bolts holding the start (I think there are just 3). disconnext the wires connected to the starter. reverse this to install. Be sure to check the starter relay (soloniod) on the inside fender well. Now is a good time to repalce it, and they are not expensive.
Passenger kick panel. Its the bottom one I think.
where is fusebox 87 ford ranger
where are you located as i need a starter for my 87 323
I have an 87 4runner and i had a similar problem turns out that the starter relay sends power to the fuel pump you might want to try replacing that relay
Not sure of the location.. not particularly familiar with that vehicle. You should always be getting power at the 30 pole with the test light. With the key in the start position, you should see power at the 86 pole. Take a jumper wire and jump power from the 30 pole to the 87 pole. If the starter engages but didn't with the relay installed, there's your problem. If it doesn't, run the test light ground to the 87 pole and the probe to the 30 pole... if you don't get a light at that point, your problem is in the 87 circuit to the starter.
Starter, or motor is locked,,, Turn the motor somehow, listen for A click, if you hear it the starter was jammed, It should start, If you turn the motor and you do not hear A click try it anyway if it still will not try to start it is likely the starter
Check for power at the clutch switch, then check for continuity through the switch with the clutch pedal depressed. If there is power and continuity, then the starter (or even ignition solenoid/starter relay) is the problem.
If there's nothing wrong with the starter itself, there's a 99% chance it's the starter relay (located on the passenger/front side of the engine bay, mounted on the fender behind the battery). It's a square part with a few wires attached. I don't think many auto parts stores can test this to see if it works, but if I recall, it's a pretty inexpensive part (had to replace it on my 87 Grand Marquis). Good luck.
