F350 Problems Starting Need Help
I have a 1991 F 350 and when I try starting it the only thing I get is a really hard buzzing noise. The battery has plenty of power, the wipers work, the heater works and the headlights are at full power. I think the battery is ok but the only thing I get is that buzzing noise upon trying to start it. Jump starting did nothing. Can anyone help me?

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 18-Jun-01 AT 01:05 AM (EST)[/font][p]If jumping did not help, you may have a bad starter. I would also inspect/clean all electrical connections...both ends of both battery cables and such. Best of luck.
P.S. You need to be absolutely sure the battery is OK.

I agree with Wayne. Check out the starter. Also, check the solenoid and ALL connections. A weak battery will make everything but the starter work properly. You may want to load test the battery and make sure that you are cranking at the proper amperage. Good luck. Jake.
