This did start the truck for me, preventing a ride in a tow truck, but it did have me ride in an ambulance. A word of caution to those who try this, don't stand between 2 vehicles doing this. I stood in front of my truck, behind another car in the parking lot, to keep my face away from the sparks. When it started, it jumped forward, pinning me. I don't blame the video poster at all for this, but wanted to share this as a warning to others. Thankfully I'm all good, with no injuries other than some bruising.

I did what you explained and this is what happened to me. It was very late at night almost morning. I was parked in front of the house. Jump it and it lunged and knocked me to the ground. I hit my head on the pavement and was out cold. I don’t know how long I laid there but when I came to I was under the running car. I crawled out got up looked around to see if anyone had seen what had happened. No one was up. So I got in and drove away. I never thought this had ever happened to anyone else until I read the comments.
This HELPED ME OUT & KNOCKED ME OUT THE SAME TIME. thank you for helping!!!

Got me home after work, stranded in a bad area after dark. Thank you!

I've done this repair a few times on various cars there are two things to keep in mind. The first is that the two spuds are copper (sometimes they have a silver-grey coating but they are copper studs) and they can be twisted off very easily, use no more than 60 inch-pounds of torque. Second, the truck in the video has only a few wires going to it, on a Lincoln or later model cars there will be more, not only do you have to make sure that wires from stud (A go bake on stud (A you also must carefully note the order and angular alignment and put them back in exactly the same way. If you put them back sloppily and try to make them seat by torquing the nut you will twist the stud off.

8 years later and you still the man . Fixed it 👌🏾

This is an excellent video. I was hearing a click about half the time, so the solenoid wasn't completely dead, but it wasn't closing the circuit. My truck starts fine now. The job took me about 30 minutes

Thank you for saving me tow and mechanic. Video well articulated and to the point. You guys have saved people huge amounts of time and dollars.

I was trying to get home from football practice, was stuck for almost 2 hours and bam! Problem solver 😎 it worked for my 94 F-150 Flareside

Great video only other piece of advice for people watching is to take a jumper cable from the positive post of battery and put power to the S lead (top wire that you see him pull off) and this will simulate signal from the ignition switch. If you just screw driver across the leads this is not proving that you are getting signal from the ignition switch....if you do not check to see if your getting signal to this S lead when you are trying to start the vehicle then your problem could possibly be faulty ignition switch in the column or failed clutch/neutral safety switch. Hope this helps

Thanks for sharing that video I was just at a gas station and an F-150 was stranded there look pretty stressed out I started helping him to troubleshoot the issue I looked up the vehicle and the issue that is seen to be having and your video popped up after about the dude was there like 30 45 minutes came across your video started like a champ

[reempire]

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, you saved me lots of grieves, money, and frustration. I bridged the terminal it started right up. thank you thank you sir

[carlosda]

Thank you! This was the fix for my truck. Such an easy install.

[scottlowe]

Before jumping those posts, be careful to be sure it is out of gear if you have a manual transmission, and remember it will crank but not start if you don't have the key in the run position

This was a very helpful video. Thanks for sharing.

For people trouble shooting here, check for corrosion in your wiring. Make sure you have good contact between the battery and solenoid. Make sure your battery connectors do not have corrosion. Make sure you have a good ground contact to the chassis, too. There is a negative (black) wire that goes from the negative terminal of the battery to the chassis. Make sure it is not corroded.

Also, make sure your relays and fuses are not corroded and are making good contact. Just taking them out and putting them back in should fix any corrosion issues, but I would clean the terminals if you see corrosion on them.

Thank you. I have a 1991 Ford Jamboree with this issue and I'm learning how to fix things myself. Your video is hands down the best as far as explaining and showing without a lot of fluff thrown in! Greatly appreciated!!

[bulldogsandlife]

Ha! You saved the day .. been trying to tap the starter, get it in park ( light for dash showing what gear your in only showed in reverse, towed it to unlock the gear etc. Watched your video and there was no sparks at first . Then I tapped it and cleaned the right plug and then sparked, jumped in and it started right up! Yay saves me 165 to get it towed . Thank you so much 🙏

[tigersfan]

Thanks for the video. My 89 f150 did this out of nowhere at the bike trail yesterday. 1st video that popped up on my Google search, got me home and going to change the solenoid today.

[turnupdot]

2019 it worked for my 2000 Ford F-250 i was almost stuck at my kids school until I stumbled across this video..thanks a lot!!

[bhyman]

Dude you’re the man. I jumped it and It actually started my truck and now the starter relay works. WTF!! I got another relay just in case but this saved my ass
