not starting??
I have a 1994 f150 i have only owned it for about 5 months and it started acting up on me a month ago.
I would drive it for a while than turn it off and it would not start again all it would do is make a loud click . about 1hr later she would start no problem. It would do this off and on. It eventually did this all the time so i could never turn it off when i went somwhere. now it wont start at all. I turn the key and all i hear is a loud click from the starter relay(solinoid). Today i went out and got a new solinoid and put it in and it stilll does the same thing. i dont think its the battery because I tryed a difrent one the a know works. the only way it will start is if a push start it.
anybody have any ideas? thanks

Not without removing it. In the truck, you can take a screwdriver and short the 2 large terminals on your starter solenoid and do the same thing. If it doesn't crank doing this then you have a bad starter.

this may be stupid but the starter solinoid is on the starter right? just short the 2 wire terminals off the starter?
i just put a jumper from the push on conection on the relay to the batt pos and it still just clicks. thats just what the book says.
