1994 F150 5.0

When I start the vehicle, it sounds like the starter stays engaged even after the truck is running. Any suggestions?

 

If the starter is staying engaged to the flywheel for a significant amount of time after the truck is started, the starter will probably be fried in a very short amount of time. Sounds like you may have a stuck or sticking starter solenoid.

 

Mine did that also a while back... solenoid on the firewall was bad. Cost ~$15 for a new BW one w/ warranty.

Hope that helps!

 

Great help guys...

I really appreciate the info and will replace the solenoid. That was the trick. Gave it a tap and the starter disengaged. On the way to the store right now.

Thanks again

 

Good deal, little problems cause the most grief
