1989 Ford Ranger Repair Question
After cranking and with the engine running, the started continued to grind
Answer
Sounds like you starter solenoid went bad and kept the stater going.Do you have a multimeter to do some testing?Have you checked all the fuses?
Ford is always known for this kind of stuffs-drive pinion jamming on the flexplate-solenoid
solenoid is separate from starter for this model isn't it?
On that year it should be seperate up on the firewall or the fender well.Do you have a multimeter to do some testing?
You probably talking about the starter relay
Thats wild i have seen later model fords then that with seperate starter solenoids.Lets unplug the starter relay so we can find the no power and not have to worry about the starter coming on and staying on right now.Do you have a multimeter to do some testin?Thanks for the info rastamaz.
yw-have helper start it up while you observe the relay when it acts up bang on it hard if it stops -replace it-
They have no power to the truck read above oringal question thats why iam saying to unplug the starter relay while tracing the no power issue.
