Ok i got a new starter today but when i hooked it up it just made a clicking soun when i cranked it. But then i put a screwdriver on the ground and positve it made the clicking noise and a spinning sound also. Whats the problem???

 

Are there 2 wires 1 lg and 1 sm or just one lg wire going to the starter? Might have the wires crossed, or check the little wire with the boot that goes on the solenoid and check to see its making contact.

 

Ok i did everythe book said and even got another starter now its jus making a humming sound. What the do i do now???

 

shes fixed and running now!!

 

Don't leave us hanging man. Inquiring minds need to know what the problem/fix was

 

Cool what was it? I was going to suggest the rapping it with a hammer trick. Sounded like the solenoid on the starter.

 

If you didnt fix it I was going to say ya probably got a locked up engine. But its fixed now, so yall good!!

 

Easy Fix. If it humms. The battery is good and the starter is new. Its the the battery cables. The red +positive one that goes to the solonoid from the battery.. Replace it $5.99 at O'reilly Auto Parts. The -negative ground battery cable that goes to the starter. Snip off the end connector that goes to the battery and put a new battery terminal on it $2.99 My truck starts right up. No more humming sound. The only other thing that it could be woud be the key and ignition in the steering wheel itself. But i doubt it. My 1987 5.0 F150 was doing the same thing 3 days ago. Starts right up now.
