Starter problems 2003 escape
Hello everyone,
I hope someone can help me. Ok, my starter was going out so i replaced it and when i tried to turn it on nothing, nothing at all the battery is a full charge (12.6v). So when i started checking everything i found that there is no power going to the ignition wire for the starter solenoid (the smaller wire) and i believe there should be. Also check relay's and fuses all good and also moved some around to make sure. Tested starter at kragen and test good, I don't know what else to do, start checking wires. If anyone knows what else should i check i would be in your thanks.

I have a battery load tester that is real handy at times like this. 12.6 volts is a good number, but it still might fail a load test.
If the connections at the battery are clean & tight one simple thing you can try is to add a jumper wire to the cables.
When my 87 Ranger would'nt crank & I added a jumper from the negative battery post to the engine block & it fired right up, I knew that cable was bad.
To be sure you dont jump incorrectly take a quick look at your starter circuit wiring diagram.
OR
Plan B get a jump from another car & see what it does.
BTW, since it wont crank in neutral either, the neutral switch is probably not the problem
A slugomatic IS an automatic
