To test the starter in a Ford Excursion, first ensure the battery is fully charged and the connections are clean and tight. Then, use a multimeter to check for voltage at the starter terminal while someone turns the ignition key. If there's no voltage, the issue may lie in the ignition switch, wiring, or relay. If voltage is present but the starter doesn't engage, the starter itself may be faulty and should be tested further or replaced.
To replace the starter on a Ford Excursion, first disconnect the negative battery cable to ensure safety. Next, locate the starter, which is typically mounted near the transmission on the driver's side. Remove the electrical connections and the mounting bolts securing the starter, then carefully pull it out. Install the new starter by reversing the process, ensuring all connections are secure before reconnecting the battery.

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.
