Yes, most likely its the starter if the battery is fully charged and it still wont crank. When you turn the key, you should hear a click. That click is the starter engaging. No click, means the starter is no good.

Why does the starting solenoid just click on a 1986 Ford Bronco V6 when you turn the key and it doesn't turn over the starter I have replaced the starter the starter relay and have a new battery.?

I would start by jumping the terminals on the starter solenoind,just use a wrench and touch it between the two large terminals on the solenoid. If the starter takes off and works I would guess that your problem may be in the ignition switch located on the steering column. Sometimes even though the battery terminals look clean and the interior lights still light up, they can need cleaning. It is also possible that the wire into the terminal is not getting a good connection. This seems elementary, but it is the an easy solution and in my experience, this is most often the problem.


What is wrong with the headlights of a 1988 Ford Bronco II if they work sometimes but mostly not?

POSSIBLY A LOOSE GROUND WIRE AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR ON MINE,GOOD LUCK! The most likely cause on the late 80's Bronco & Ranger for headlight problems is the failure of the Dimmer switch connection. I had to completely replace the connector & switch on my '88 Bronco II to resolve the problem.


Bronco won't start one click is all you get. starter is good. replaced solenoid and alternator. still the same problem. cleaned up all connections and terminals. what else could it be?

Are you sure the battery has enough juice (13.5volts)? Is the engine locked up? Try turning the motor by hand. If the engine is not seized, take the starter off and bench test it. Recheck your negative battery cable, a very good chance your problem lies there. The same thing happened to my 1995 full size bronco today. I took the battery cables off cleaned each one, and still the same problem. I replaced the starter, solenoid, finally noticed my ground wire from my intake to the fire wall was charred. So I checked my lower battery cable connections and my ground was not connected. I replaced my firewall ground and replaced my battery ground wire and all my problems were solved. Even my dash readings were fixed, I always had crazy readings on my dash (temp, oil pressure and amp gauge) all were fixed with the installation of my new ground wires.
