starter issue

[smgs92]

Well my car wont start, and it wont crank over the starter doesn't do anything like if the battery was dead. But the battery is fine I was gonna replace the starter but I was gonna make sure that's what the problem is. thanks

Go and hit you your starter with a hammer, and see if it starts. If it starts you will still need a starter tho.

Replace the starter first next time..Then if it's not the problem make a thread about it..We can't give you any insight if you didn't replace the starter, and it still won't crank..

Did you check the blank w/yellow stripe wire? There is a connection to the harness usually under the thermostat housing... How about the fuses under the hood?

and it will push start

Is you car a 5 spd? I had this issue once and i had to unplug the neutral safety switch (something along those lines) Its just a small white connector just up under the dash where the pedals are. I'll post a picture later tonight if you can't find yours. Unplugging this connector also allows you to start the car without pressing in the clutch (only do this while the car is in neutral though)

alright ill check that out
thanks

The starter solenoid is attached to the starter. Try tapping the signal wire off the starter (small thin wire) to the battery.

Is there enough ground to the battery??

 

[smgs92]

my neighbor had told me there was 2 starter solenoids apparently its only on ford and we didnt know
and i dropped it off at a shop to be checked out and ill probably fix it myself

Here's a picture of the neutral safety switch I told you about. Try unplugging it and see if the car starts up before spending money on a mechanic.
