Hi all,

I have a 95 Ford F-150 4x4 w/200k miles. The truck has been sitting for a couple of weeks in my drive way, but ran fine before it was parked. The truck now will not start, when I turn the key I here a clicking sound but the motor doesn't turn. I just changed the starter and battery but nothing happens. Please help.......

 

check your battery again with a volt meter and the post connections

 

It has a new battery and new starter.

 

have you checked the starter relay?

 

Not yet, how should I got about in testing it?

Thanks You in Advance,

Mike

 

check on the passenger side above the tire under the hood. round relay 2 big wires one small wire jump across the big wires see if it turns over. if not pull off small wire install test light have someone try and crank if it dont light up its a fuse or key switch just my guess

 

Did you get it running? I have got a bad battery before did you check with a voltage meter.

 

Please check your battery cables for signs of corrosion. Replace if you see any. Also clean your ground connections on the block and frame.

Let us know how you make out.

Cheers,
popa Tim

 

I had this problem this week. I replaced the neg. battery terminal but last night it did it again, today I replaced the neg. cable . The end attached to the motor was corroded now it starts right up. Like Popa Tim said check the ground points on the block.
