I hope someone can provide me some ideas on the starting problem that I have encountered with my 2000 Ford F150 Lariat. About a month ago I stopped for gas and when I went to start my vehicle nothing happened (no noise, nothing); I had full battery power. I let the truck sit for an hour and then it started fine. This has now happened five or six times to me. It always happens after I have been driving truck and then turn it off and try to start it again within 15 or 20 minutes of turning it off. If the truck sits for an hour or so after I experience thhe problem, it always starts with no problem. I have checked the battery terminals, but they appear clean. The truck has 65K miles and otherwise seems to operate perfectly. Does anyone have any advice???

 

bhendo,

Check the connections at the starter. Are you getting a clicking? Does it turn over but not start?
