Helppppppp? 93 F150, 302. I was driving it last week and all was well. Turned it off briefly. Restarted it and it shut off...just died. Since then it hasn't cranked once...nothing more than a click at the starter. Figured it was the starter at first...replaced that...replaced the solenoid next. Still no change. When we do the screwdriver across the solenoid thing it's the same thing...just a click at the starter...the truck doesn't start. Replaced both battery cables next...still nothing different. What else is left? Planning to change the ignition switch tomorrow. Can anyone think of anything else I should be checking? Any help is much appreciated.

 

Make sure all your connections are good and pull the starter and see if there is anything jammed in the flywheel or on the starter bendix.

 

What's the battery voltage when you try and start it?

 

Mine did he same thing, but it was 2 days before my wedding!!! It was a warm day (85*) and I cooked the battery. It was due, I dropped in a new one and no problems since. So get the battery Load Tested.

 

Thanks everyone...we finally got it fixed...turned out to be the positive battery cable...looked fine on the outside...not so fine inside...Thanks again!
