1998 Ford F-150 Repair Question
Ford F-150 Battery Problem
Answer
how was the battery tested??
what about the ground connections and power connections beyond the battery?? start solenoid connections, grounds on block and fenders??? all these need to be checked one by one as any or all can give you the issue you have
Roy
its more of a connection issue? And I simply took the battery into NAPA and asked if it was still good, they said and recommended replacing the connectors to the battery. I'll check the rest of the connections.
thats a start. we have to start at basics
Roy
the ground connections and power connections look good. everything seems to be where it is supposed to be, nothing loose.
I replaced the starter relay, didn't help, following the wires the only thing i could was in this picture below could this need to be replaced?
The problem was a bad ground wire connection to the frame under the car. it was by the fender. A good way to test the ground connection is I put jumper cables from the negative battery post, and grounded the other end, leaving the positive ends unconnected and the truck started itself right up, and it was matter of cleaning all of the connections coming from the wire. thank you so much for all of your help!
