Sunday the Vicki didn't start. I checked her out.still nothing. So after I cooled off, I turned the key to run and ju7mped the starter solonoid with a screw driver. The starter turned, got in the car hit the switch, runs like new. Solonoid hung up was all.

Yep pretty commom, I would you get a new one , there like $12.00 bucks , if it hung once its probaly on its way out . An low voltage like a weak battery will kill one pretty quick .

I just replaced the starter.............it was the original.............12 years old too.

Ive still go the original starter on my 87 Ranger......300,000 miles and 17 yrs later :)

later,

Too bad they cost so @#$% much to replace! I got a deal on a new one, still cost too much at $117.00. May go the junk yard used one if one fails again in the next 12 years.
