2004 f150 lariat edition wont start after replacing main wire to starter
Asked by Katiecarlson Jul 04, 2017 at 08:22 PM about the 2004 Ford F-150 Lariat Ext. Cab 4WD
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
My truck wouldnt start yesterday. I looked it over
and found that the main wire (red) has corroded
and broken off of the starter. I disconnected the
battery, changed the part, and then reconnected
the battery. It still will not start. I mention the
battery because i have the anti theft system and i
wonder if that has anything to do with the truck not
starting after disconecting and reconecting the
battery. Any ideas?

There are 2 wires connected to the solenoid. I assumed the red one (which was broken off) was the main one. The other one looks fine. And im getting 11.9 amps to the starter.

There should be 3 wires at the starter make sure they are all good, 2 come off and one jumps to another

They are all good! I replaced the one that broke off. The rest are fine.
