1991 Ford Explorer Won't Start - Electrical & Lighting Systems
Question: I replaced the starter, starter relay (on the fender), checked the remanufactured starter, it works, It's a 5 spd. manual, I can push start the truck, no problems, engine runs fine, so I guess it's in the starting circuit. When starting with the key the solenoid clicks but it doesn't get to the starter, I am going to replace both battery cables. What did I miss?

Technican: if the starter solenoid is clicking but is it engaging the starter? if it is then yiou need to check the connection to the starter to make sure you wired it correctly and that you have a constant 12 volts at the stater the solenoid is what engages the starter and closes the starter circuit
I hope this helps
Technican: I believe this truck has a starter solenoid bolted to the fender. Without disconnecting any wires, use a test light at the starter solenoid, clipped to ground. Touch both heavy bolts, one should light and one should not. When trying to start the truck, both bolts should stay bright. If dim, repair the wiring, or replace the starter. If no light on one post, unplug the little wire and bridge between the little post and the power post. The truck should start. If not, check for power at the large output terminal. If no power when activated, replace solenoid. If power, replace the starter wire or starter as necessary. If it starts, use the test light probed in the little connector. It should light when the key is turned to start. If not, check the clutch switch, the ignition switch and related wiring. Here's How To Get Guaranteed Solutions In Minutes
