How do you change a cylinoid in a 1992 ford ranger?

Depending On which solenoid if it is a starter solenoid there is one on the inner fender and one on the starter the one on the inner fender is changed by disconnecting the battery then removing the wires making sure to know where they go when you put the new one on then unbolt it and bolt the new one in the same way in reverse if it is the one on the starter however your best bet is to replace the starter completely it is more ecconomical in the long term of your vehicle Depending On which solenoid if it is a starter solenoid there is one on the inner fender and one on the starter the one on the inner fender is changed by disconnecting the battery then removing the wires making sure to know where they go when you put the new one on then unbolt it and bolt the new one in the same way in reverse if it is the one on the starter however your best bet is to replace the starter completely it is more ecconomical in the long term of your vehicle


I have replaced the starter on my 1991 S10 but it still won't start could it be a problem with the crank sensor?

Then why did you replace a perfectly good starter? ALWAYS test old parts and know what you're doing BEFORE you start throwing new parts at a problem. Find out WHY it isn't starting. Does the starter engage and turn the engine? IF it does, then the starter is probably fine. If not, check the starter, battery, electrical connections, ignition switch and neutral safety switch. If the starter has ALWAYS engaged and turned the engine, you should not have changed the starter in the first place; instead, you should be finding out what's wrong.


Starter wont disengage when you start 93 ford ranger.changed 2 starters and solenoid.where to go from here?

I'd check two things: I don't remember what year Ford changed over, but if yours still has the starter solenoid on the fender, make sure you haven't crossed the small wires. If the solenoid is on the starter, are you certain that you've wired the starter right? There are a couple small wires that connect to the starter,if you connect them wrong it could the cause problems you describe. If you're CERTAIN that the starter and/or solenoid are connected properly, start looking seriously at the ignition switch.

1992 Ford Festiva will not start and there is clicking but that's it How do you know if its the starter battery or alternator?

If there is clicking, that means the car has power from the battery so the altenator and the battery are good. I would suggest that the starter is gone bad. It will eventually grind away to where there is no clicking.

Try checking that your ignition hasn't gotten wet i.e. distributor sparkplug leads etc Just try spraying everything with WD 40 0r a similar oil spray.


Starter does not disengage F150 changed the solenoid runs on for 30 seconds after turning ignition off?

The starter drive (also called bendix) is not dis-engaging after the key start position is released. Probably due to dust/grime build-up, gear sticking to flywheel, or just going bad.

Toyota intermittent starter problem changed battery changed starter x 2 changed ignition switch with no help continues to intermittently not start please help?

Check all wires for loose or corroded fittings. A loose or corroded connection can work one day and not the next. My first guess would be the wire to the starter solenoid is loose.
