Car or Truck won't stop cranking OR Doesn't turn OFF (The Fix)

This is what to do if your car or truck won't stop cranking or won't turn off. This applies mainly to classic ford vehicles or those that have the solenoid on the inner fender apart from the starter.

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!!

[fistofthetiger]

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!

[VictorSanchez-kpnt]

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

[bakerboys]

Thanks for the tip. This was the fix on my 79 ford 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.

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 ?

[e-racer]

What will make it do that is a low battery if you’re cranking it and it does not start once the volts in the battery get too low. It will not let it disengage the solenoid because I’ve had it do the exact same thing on a GM and the solenoid is mounted on the starter on them.

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

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

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?

[davematthews]

So if I take off the wire with the s on it and the vehicle doesn't start when I reconnect the battery the ignition cylinder is likely the issue?

[generalsuspect]

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

[brendonlawrence]

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

[johnnyrodriguez]

[justinmusicstuff]

[skullcotvc]
