hey guys i have a 2000 ford f450 with the 7.3. the truck sat for about three month and now it wont turn over. when i put the key in to start it only the airbag light and abs light up. when i got to turn it over i can hear the starter just click but the engine wont crank. i have checked the batteries and the starter and they are all good. i have also checked the shiftier position sensor on the tranny and it fine. any ideas would be awesome

 

no dash lights, no headlights, etc.? If batteries good, most likely connections on batteries. Clicking is most often symptomatic of low voltage at solenoid.

 

i was thinking the same thing. i got two new batteries and cleaned the positive and negative terminals. still having the problem

 

First isolate the problem to see if it is the starter. You can disconnect one of the cables on the starter solenoid (located on the passenger fender) and touch it to the cable on the opposite side of the solenoid. If your cables and batteries are good, this should engage the starter. (make sure its locked in park and e brake set)

 

If there is not enough power to light dash lights or headlights, my thought would be it is safe assume the starter is not getting enough power either.

 

I guess the < Search > function is broken again.

start with the basics FIRST.
