To replace the starter on a 1985 Ford F150, first disconnect the negative battery cable to ensure safety. Next, locate the starter, which is typically mounted on the engine block near the transmission. Remove the wiring harness and the mounting bolts, then carefully pull out the old starter. Install the new starter by reversing the disassembly steps, ensuring all connections are secure before reconnecting the battery.
The actual problem is the starter continues to turn after key is turned off and pulled out of ignition.
