I'm beyond frustrated at this point.. I have a 97 f150 Supercab with a 4.6l. I was told the motor seized back in January so I bought a used motor that turns over no problem. Its out of a 99 an also a 4.6l. I swapped then this past week/weekend and the new one is now in. Brand new battery, all new fluids, when I went to start it I got nothing. A big click or thud, whatever you wanna call it. But i got absolutely nothing when I went to turn the key. Does anyone have a clue what could be going on??

 

My brother has problem it could be starter going out and what we do is rattle the key fast what I mean by this is try an to turn on and off really fast. And she should start knowin the problem we had that was very similar hope it helps

 

Everything helps! I'll have to try that tomorrow, it's at my dad house while we work on it..

 

Bump

 

As I just said in another thread, please be patient. Those that are online may not have your answer, and those that do may not be online.

 

check and see if you have power at the starter then work your way back towards the battery. i replaced my trans and had the similar thing happen and i ended up backing the bolts out and turning it over then tighten it back to get home then took the dang thing off and it was caked in mud ended up just replacing it
