Starting system help
Hello,
My 2001 V10 Excursion won't start. When I turn the key, nothing happens. No tick noise, sometimes there is a short(1/2 second) growling noise coming from the front of the drivers side of the engine bay after I stop trying to start the car. I have replaced the ignition switch, the starter solenoid, and the starter - battery fine only a year old. I have removed the corrosion from the connectors and still no dice. All electrical components work fine radio, power locks, power seats, etc. Any experts out there know have a suggestion? Only thing I can think of is a bad wire somewhere.
Thanks,
Colin

I'm no professional, but it looks okay to me. I just had the transmission done, it worked fine for about a week after that and then this. In reviewing the chilton manual it says to check the transmission range sensor, perhaps it was damaged during the transmission repair.

Son of a gun. I have been screwing with this thing all weekend. I feel pretty stupid now. I just changed the gears and then tried to start it and it fired right up...
Anyway, thanks A LOT Chris! On the bright side, 3 days ago I really had no idea what was involved in starting the car, now I have a pretty good idea.
