1997 ford Econoline e350 no start no crank

Asked by Nicholas Sep 24, 2023 at 08:52 PM about the 1997 Ford E-Series E-350 XL Club Wagon Passenger Van Extended

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Just replaced starter. Replaced shifter cable and neutral
starter switch. Replaced alternator, ~6mo battery. Replaced
the shifter bushings and now car won't start. All lights are on
and even radio works, but no click and no crank. I checked
neutral starter switch and connection is fine.

Update: radio is getting power even when car is off, but engine isn't getting any power everything else seems to be working fine. Still no crank or start. Still at a loss. Any ideas?

Check the ground wire from body to engine block. You can use a jumper cable one end on the engine block by the altinator and one to the body
