06 starter relay?
06 starter relay?
All,
does the 2006 f150 have a starter relay on the firewall? could somebody post a picture of where it is at?
I'm having trouble finding it.
Thanks in Advance.
More information
After I left the Gas Station last night, it sounded like the starter was still engaged, I turned the Key Off and it sounded like it was still cranking over. After a few seconds of it cranking over, it shut off.
I Started the truck again and everything was fine. I drove the 2 Miles back home and parked the truck. Tried a couple of times throughout the evening to get the problem to repeat but everything seemed fine.
This morning i jumped into my truck to head to work and turned the key and nothing happened.
I Checked the battery, Lights were bright, radio came on, power locks / Windows everything worked fine, truck just wouldn't start.
I jumped the solenoid under the truck and the starter started to spin, however SScully had previously told me that there is some kind of Starter Relay, however i think that was for an older truck.
I traced the wires coming out of the starter solenoid and they go straight to the battery. I didn't see any more wires or where they would be running to any kind of Starter Relay aside from the solenoid.
I Tried again at lunch and it didn't work either.
My assumption is that there is something "sticking" Because it seemed to Stick in the "Start" Position last night and it seems to be sticking in the "Off Position" today.
Any Help or insight will be greatly appreciated!!!

I'm no guru on this, and have never worked on your model truck. But I would get the owners amnual out and look for a relay in the fuse box that is associated with the starter. I've worked on some models that have a relay that activates the starer relay.
