Electrical Problem - Starter
I just replaced my starter on my 96 F-250 Crew Cab PowerStroke. When I went to hook the batteries up the #4 Relay (Trailer Tow Lamps) clicks and all four turn signals blink for about 15 seconds and then quits. My starter will not engage using the ignition switch but will engage (and engine will start) when crossing the posts at the starter solenoid inside front right fender. Any suggestions as to the problem? - I am totally baffled and any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

If you starter has the spade or flat type terminal on it that the wiring plugs into, replace it will a ring terminal directly attached to the starter. That is known for having a bad connection and then the starter will not work.

does this truck by chance have or had a security system installed? sounds like the system is armed and in anti-theft mode. if its a factory system just lock all doors and then unlock them with the keyfob or original ignition key. we get this all the time at the parts store after installing a battery, stupid anti-theft.
