new starter itself with solenoid was 116.00 bucks on my 98. seeing as its nearly 20 years old I am putting the whole thing in so I won't have to deal with it again (hopefully).

Uff-Da! That is one scuzzy looking starter. Too much toxic soup dumped on Minnesota highways. Eats automobiles and their parts for breakfast. Had to replace the 20 year old starter on my 97 Mazda B2300 (Ford Ranger) recently. Regardless the inner wear, the starter still looked brand new on the outside, and I never wash the undercarriage. Nice part is, changing a starter on these rigs takes little more effort than changing the oil.

heck, i just rigged up a broken stranded cable on mine today. you got the same napa brush plate that i need. i can't find them anywhere online.

You know if you think about it for a starter that old, installing a new solenoid will not hurt anything. It would suck to pull that starter out again to replace the solenoid after you replaced the brushes.

good god my friend. most of us would have just got a new complete starter and all to start with and you can get them fairly cheap on line so uhh this is kinda entertaining

I have a 95 2.3l. Ford ranger. Put a new starter in and all it does is click. We tested it and it's good. The battery is good also. What can it be

Wires I got the same problem just can’t afford the wire to re do it mines a 97 2.3l 4 cylinder if you tap the wires on the solenoid with a screw drive while someone try’s to start it I’ll go Edit: that 2.3l 4 popper seems bulletproof to me so far I’ve had a cracked head at 250k miles got them resurfaced and now I’m 1.3 million and still running strong only problem is this starter issue eventually when I get enough saved up imma re wire the whole truck and get it back to original

I have a 2000 ford ranger started with getting a clicking sound about a month ago when trying to start, the first time it did on about the 3rd try it finally started. the second time I was able to get it to start by tapping the starter with a hammer, then started fine for about a week with or so with no issues, then finally quit and wouldn't do anything. I replaced the starter 2 days ago and it was starting fine until today, can't get it to do anything. Also, I did not replace the cable on top of starter as it was just used the old one. Could that be my issue? and if so, how come it started so well after replacing the starter 2 days ago? Thanks for your help.

soak that straps when they look like that with solder , once you have it back together , that will prevent it from breaking in two latter on ...

I wouldn’t just fit a new solenoid. I’d fit the entire starter and solenoid. Not much difference in price. Both done. No problems. Mucking about with individual parts on a knackered starter motor is false economy as one par fails after another. Whack in a a whole new starter, with solenoid

Got a ford ranger 4.0 1998 automatic. Replace starter still no crank no start. Battery good. But at times it will crank and start. After you turn it off no crank no start. Wait a day and it will crank and start shut it off and something.

how did you get to the top mounting bolt between the solenoid and the engine? I got the bottom 2 out fine but I can't seem to get a wrench on the top one. I'm thinking of taking off the tire to get to it.

I'm having the same problem on my 1996 ranger. I replaced the battery but when I turn the key, there isnt even a click or anything. We checked all the fuses and they are fine. Do you think replacing the cilinoid would be a good place to start?
@bah539 жыл бұрын
Nathan Widiker I would start first by checking and cleaning all the electrical connections. If everything is clean and getting the power it should then look at the starter/solenoid.
