You may have a weak battery, try jump starting it with another car or battery.
It all comes down to what you want, there are starter kits available on ebay, the price goes up with quality and what you want the kit to consist of.
Turn ignition on. Indicator lights will light. Put it in neutral. If red reverse light is off, go to next line, If red reverse light is on, shift up one till Green neutral light comes on. Put it in neutral. Shift down till Green light comes on. Press the starter (square button on left grip.
More than likely you have a dead battery. Take the battery out and take it to any parts store. They will check the capacity of your battery and even go out to the parking lot after you get this beast started to check the output of your alternator to make sure there aren't any other issues.
Hitting it is not going to fix it - that will only make matters worse. A possible problem is a loose connection inside the radio or in the dash. Remove the radio and check all its wiring and the connecting wiring that leads to the radio. You'll need an Ohmeter.
first, check you fuses. next try putting transmission in neutral and then try to start there is a fuse that will stop it starting failing that have your ignition switch checked remove the battery connections, clean them, and retighten them......you are not getting enough voltage or current through your connections to get the starter to turn over. if this doesn't work, you may have a bad ignition switch whcih won't throw the voltage over to the starter
The positive battery cable connects directly to the starter. Depending on what type of vehicle it is, the solenoid is either on the starter or on the inner fender. Power for the solenoid comes from the ignition switch. You can run a wire to the solenoid to cause the starter to engage.
Right side of vehicle under the oil filter for 4.0 engines. It is located on the starter. The solenoid is another smaller cylindrical shaped device that is mounted to the starter. If you have to replace it you have to buy the whole starter assembly that comes with a solenoid. I have not found a way to replace only the solenoid. Jeep engineered this to benefit their dealer service garages.
It is on the starter itself and is called the starter solenoid. Heavy current is handled by the solenoid which is activated by the ignition switch. Current comes from the igniton switch, then to the s terminal on the starter which then connects heavy amperage to the starter motor itself.
your ignition switch or the starter solenoid is bad try jumping the solenoid instead of the starter, if this does not work, then change solenoid
If there is complete silence when the key is turned, try tapping the solenoid on the starter with a hammer. Don't laugh. I have found this to be the solution in several cases. This is sure proof that the starter solenoid is the problem. You will want to install a new starter which comes with a new solenoid before you get stranded.
Yes it can be. But most of the time it comes as a complete unit.
The soleonoid on the starter is bad. When you buy a new starter it comes with the solenoid. Try tapping on the starter with a hammer if it starts after that then this is your problem
what size fuse is it it would need to be a 30 amp fuse for the starter solenoid after that your starter solenoid could be shorting if you take the wire that comes from the key off the starter (normally the small wire on its own going onto the solenoid on top of the starter)then turn the key same as if you were starting the engine if the fuse doesn't blow then you need a new solenoid for the starter or a new starter if the price is right if the fuse does blow with the wire off the solenoid then you have a short in the wiring loom check the loom for break or cracks there is a good chance the wire is after wearing against the engine somewhere if this is the case tape it over and tie it back from the engine
First disconnect the ground wire from the battery. Then detach the wires from the starter solenoid, taking note of where each wire was so they can be put back later. There may be a rear support bracket on the back of the starter, if yes remove it. Then remove the two bolts that hold the starter to the bottom of the block They are 15mm heads, you will need a socket and extension plus driver to remove them. Then the starter will slide towards the front of the motor and come out. As for removing the solenoid. Remove the screw that attaches a copper bus that comes out of the starter body to the solenoid. Then remove the two screws that hold the solenoid to the starter, twist the solenoid slightly and remove it from the starter. There will be a spring inside that will come off, retain it for reassembly if you need it. To put it all back together reverse the dis-assembly order.
Start with a volt meter at the starter. Check to verify that voltage comes in on the BIG wire, and if that's working verify that you're getting voltage to the solenoid when someone tries to engage the starter. If you have voltage to the solenoid when the keyswitch is in the "start" position, and the starter doesn't engage... it's the starter. If you're NOT getting voltage to the solenoid, check the keyswitch, wiring and the neutral lockout switch.
The Amperage draw is so high it locks the starter solenoid. This can be because of a bad starter bushing, low voltage in the battery, timing, etc. It is a major engineering defect in the design. All Fords prior to 1992 have this flaw. It can result in a fire, dead battery, etc. The good news is Ford redesigned their starters in 1992. The new starters will fit the old engines and Ford sells a retrofit kit to rewire the Solenoid for the new starter. The way it corrects the problem is the old solenoid becomes a starter relay, with the output wire now going to a solenoid mounted on the new starter. (This gives you less of a voltage drop at the new solenoid vs the old solenoid, that solves the problem in most cases) You need to buy the kit from Ford (Under $20.00) but you can buy the starter anywhere. Just give them your vehicle information as if you owned a 1993 Ford when buying the starter. You can also get a rebuilt starter from Ford. You could make your own kit, but the Ford Kit is everything you need and comes with instructions (priceless). Warprunner
No real diagram needed as the starter has only 2 wires:Big fat one comes almost straight from the positive side of the batterySkinny one the at controls the starter solenoid - activates it from the keySee "Related Questions" below for more
