Trouble starting
Hi all,
I hope someone here can offer some help. I have a 93 F250 4wd with a 460 automatic. I went out to start it yesterday and all I heard was a click. I have put a new starter in and replaced the battery and cleaned the cables at the battery and I still only get a click. I can feel the starter solenoid activate and can hear the solenoid on the wall activate, but nothing happens. What else could it be? Has anyone else ever had this happen?
Thanks in advance,
Blane

Problem solved
A follow-up for those who may have this problem in the future. It turns out that the 2 positive cables in the lead (led not leed) connector at the battery were corroded inside the lead. I felt a slight bit of warmth on the connector so I bought a generic battery post connector to replace it. I cut the 2 cables and put them into the new connector and reconnected them to the battery. Problem solved.
Thanks to those who took a look at the post.
