Put a new computer in my 02 F150 4.2, took it to Ford to get keys programed and found out my starter was bad. Replaced the solenoid and truck started once and would not start again, replaced the starter and solenoid on firewall and put a new battery in and still have the same problem. This ha me stumped???

 

Is it cranking? Not cranking?

Sounds like you've got another possible hornets nest with the keys getting programmed, and we need to know if it cranks at all?

 

It started one time, you can hear the solenoid clicking on fire wall, changed it out also along with the starter and new battery???

 

I have never struggled so much with one truck!

 

Thanks for Being patience with my problem!

 

I'm inclined to think you've got a bad cable.... assuming your connectors are clean, etc.

 

Thanks!! I will check that next Frank burns!!

 

Did you bench test the starter, also check the cables for power at the starter

 

It's just a process of elimination....learn the process or get left behind. Damn, those were Grandpas words.

 

Bench tested new starter and it was bad I will clean connections at starter better and try again, Thanks!
