clicking when trying to start
I got a 98 f150 that just clicks when trying to start it replaced the ignition starter battery and starter solenoid just clicks and then loses all eltrical power anyone have any ideas
All the fuses are good and the battery held a charge in my Toyota before going to the f150 the wires on the starter and battery are tight. It ran after we change the gear box we took it on a test drive and 2 or 3 days later it started this
The problem is usually at the starter wires, - small and large red wires. They can corrode heavily under the insulation with time. I'd check the parts before replacing them. That could get expensive!
Just ask how.
Once you get running, make sure the alt is maintaining the battery voltage.
To check your cables, I'm sure you checked the connections already, check resistance and/or purchase a length of cable to bypass what you have...one at a time. Might be easier for you to troubleshoot that way.
Battery should be above 11.4 volts to start.
Good Luck.
