Boss's lightning doesn't start
02 lightning, completely stock.
40-45k miles on it I guess...
I turned the key and get a click from the solenoid on the firewall, but no turn from the starter. Battery is good, wacked the starter with a hammer with key turned in start position didn't work...
Any ideas on how to get this thing running? I played with the neutral safety switch and didn't get anything. I noticed the battery light flickered a little with the key in the start position.
Just clicks and no turn in starter.

I tried it in N or P...brake on or off...fiddled with the alarm buttons...
I had him turn all things that would take power, heat, lights, radio, etc and when he tried to start it the lights didn't dim...I don't think it's a bad battery just by observation...I feel as though it's something else.
I'll check this cruise control shutoff deal...

It's stuck at our office, I havn't been there since I made the thread, but I'm going in tomorrow...
Only thing I can check is the cruise control shutoff switch I guess...other then that w/o me really tearing into it I can't figure it out. Not much I can do w/o it being on a lift or in my garage. He will probably end up having it towed.

Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the '92+ Fords all permanent magntet style? You usually wind up doing more damage then good to then trying that. I had a Dodge one die and hitting it never worked but then once I talked to a shop they also said that they have never been able to get any newer starter to work with that trick. I can't for the life of me remember anything other than the magnets crack really easy, there was another reason but I can't remember at the moment.
