Thanks buddy it fixed my 79 LTD II. I freaked out initially when it happened, luckily i was at home. Got a new solenoid today and fixed the problem 🤘

I burned through 2 starters at autozone and 3 at o'reillys until I finally took it to a shop and he told me he had to call a friend who works at Ford Company and he told him that it was a wire but he would not tell me exactly wtf the problem was because he wanted to charge me another $625.00 if it did it again. I changed everything else from the alternator, solenoid, to fuses but I wish I would have changed the wire that connects the ignition to the battery to the starter as it was very doable. but thats how they charge you by keeping you in the dark about simple shit!! I like to thank you Sir for this video and trying to help people because money isnt easy to come by for some of us fa real..take care and peace

You saved me hours of looking for an electrical problem / short. I am a DIY non mechanic working on my 1968 UltraVan with Corvair engine.

My ‘91 Bronco has done this twice now. Wasn’t sure if it was the starter or the ignition but it sounds like it’s the starter. Thank you!!

1968 F250 FE360 My starter solenoid smoked one day and wouldn't engage starter.New solenoid and when I reconnected battery the starter stayed engaged while battery connected.I had to get a new relay and then all was well.Thanks for your info.Heck,even I can understand it

This helped me with my '91 f150. I figured it was something with the starter or the solenoid. This is waaay easier and cheaper than a starter! Thanks huge my man and thank you for your service!

Super simple explanation on how to test thank you very much.

Thanks for the video. Helped me with my 85 F250. ❤

2010 dodge Challenger cut off driving. I turned the key fob and let off starting spinning fast. I heard the starter spinning when it cutoff.

Thank you for your service sir!

Your Amazon it work on my 125 moped I was stressing I couldn’t find anything about it until I thought I’ll see if car or vans have one little did I know there do that’s when I found you vide thank you for the help keep making more vides

Great vid, works for ride on mowers as well

I just got a reman starter and new fomoco relay and it still does it.

good to know- My 1985 F-150 is doing this. I will change out the solenoid-Thanks

Thank you so much for this! Such an easy fix, saved my butt haha

Thanks bro now i can get back to work

This is good but for me I needed to disconnect the ignition switch fuse on my 2014 Chevy Silverado so it would stop running.

I have a 70 chevy truck with the ford solenoid. My solenoid only has the s wire hooked up. When releasing the key back to the run position, it continues cranking. I have a coil cut off, so the engine wont start unless energized. By watching your vid, my thought is the ignition switch is the culprit...Any thoughts before spending cash on a new switch ?

Very helpful video man thanks I appreciate that 👍

Every ford ever built. My falcon has done this a few times.

Thanks a lot bud this was very helpful ❤

This is very odd.. I have a 89 f250 with a 91 f150 engine inside basically same configuration as stock f250 engine when it comes to solenoid, but same exact issues thing is I just replaced the solenoid because of a different issue, this started recently after taking apart my steering wheel column tilt to fix and I put back together exactly the same. My solenoid only has one wire that clips onto the solenoid(the one you disconnected to diagnose the solenoid) and it still cranks with that off. Perhaps I got a defective one?

I've replaced the same thing out of an 89 thunderbird and still does the same thing I've went through 2 of them already.

I got an 81 f150 with a 302 I replaced that starter solenoid and the starter itself and I still run in too that same issue

Got an 89 f-250 with the 460 and I have burned out 7 solenoids by now and one starter with this issue! Checked all wires for shorts or corrosion, I changed out the lock cylinder and pinion, ignition switch, new starter and solenoid and it started fine and ran for 3 days and the same thing happens at a clients house! Super embarrassing.. this has been an ongoing problem for 3 months now and I'm about ready to just let it burn all together lol. Just lost here now. Still working on finding the actual problem.

"If your car won't stop cranking, hit the solenoid with a wrench." I scoffed then tried it and it worked ☠️

I just got a brand new solenoid and installed it and it wont stop cranking. Everything online says to replace it but it’s brand new out of the box

Thank you 🙏

Saved me so much Thankyou

1984 f150 I Have this problem put I replaced the solenoid on it as well as the cartagena and still crank after the engine has started any more tips?

I have a 1987 buick regal that's doing the same. But mine doesn't have a solenoid like that. What can it be?

What about the other post, mine sparks and kills the engine. Starts and runs find until you hook the ignition wire to the Post . Ignition has been replaced.

Thank you so much

Thanks it working sir thank you so much

What’s the cause if it’s a brand new solenoid too? And it’s still staying engaged

I had major sparks when I touched the battery. But nothing turned on. Lights off, radio off. There is nothing else on my old truck.

What if when u pull the wire and u stick the battery hot back on and it doesn't do anything. What's that mean?

Gracias Hermano

i have an 85 f150 i have swapped the solenoid 3 times and all the connectors to it but i still have this problem. could it be the starter?

Had this exact same issue. But I disconnected the negative cable. Not the positive. Same issue.

Think im going through the same thing the car starts but ignition keeps turning

Here’s my problem: i have a 1997 Ford F-250 power stroke diesel. The truck has been sitting awhile and i took the batteries out and had them charged up. But when i hook just one of them up the truck starts to crank on its own without even putting the key in the ignition. Got any ideas why?

Also it won’t start.

Does the wire going to the s stud go to the alternator

😂😂In Puerto Rico we call it puerquito, that means little pig.

Changed mine out the other day but it still tries to crank.

My f150 76' la apago y sigue queriendo prender y echa explociones
