Ford Ranger Starting Problems

Truck began to start about half the time; other half only a click when key was turned. Replaced solenoid on fender wall and all was good for about 1-2 dozen starts. Then 1 turn of the key got the "click" response; after that another 10 or so good starts before total failure to start with only a click response. Replaced the replacement solenoid with no success. Jumping the solenoid yields the click but nothing else. Apparently there is sufficient charge in battery-lights etc are strong. What should I check/replace next? Thanks for your help.

| Thanks for the advice Bolivar. I just checked the cables. I did not see any problem but I moved them to try to isolate them from any points of contact and it started a couple of times no problem. I hope this is not a red herring solution. Thanks again. | |

| I have a 98 ford ranger xlt manual transmission 4WD and I just replaced the starter on it, but now I have no power to the dash lights and it wont crank. There are no blown fuses and the battery is good. Any Suggestions? | |
Hi I drive a 91 ranger manual. I have had my starter and my alternator checked. I have a new battery in it and checked all the wiring.I had my battery charged and it ran fine next day dont start. It seems like something is pulling juice from my battery when it is off is that even possible. I have standard radio no lights left on ac turned off, etc... I mean you would assume you need to drive it to charge the battery, but to have a battery charged then put it in the truck drive home park it 2 days later its dead. I have done everything I can think of besides taking my truck someplace and spending alot of money. So any help would be great ty so much

Replying to: mhubbard (Oct 19, 2009 9:05 pm) What may have caused my original problem was that instead of using the store-bought purple sealer, I used bearing grease to coat the outside of my terminals. I suspect that over time, the grease had invaded the area between the clamp and the terminal. |
