Intermittant "Won't Start!"
My cousin has a '99 F250 Super Duty. Every now & then he gets in it and it won't start. He says he has gauges/instruments and can here a relay(?) click. Not the solenoid, but a relay(?). He got down on all 4's & jumped the starter with a screw driver. Got home, shut it off, and it wouldn't start again. I checked for TSB's & recalls but found nothing.
Any help on this one? He can't be the only one with this problem!
Thanks in advance,
jonny

If so, which one? Should I try to find the one that's clicking & replace it???

I'll check for 12v. at the "s" terminal on the solenoid in the "start" position If I have 12v. then the solenoid's bad. Can solenoids be intermittant? It was very humid today...could that effect the solenoid?

Sorry bout that. Didn't mean to confuse the situation more. I thought relays click when thier operating normally.
I was thinking maybe posting in the Electrical Systems/Wiring Forum might get something. Good luck!
