1999 Ford F350 Starter Fuses, Starter Circuit Explained

Great video. No techno dance noise. No bad attempt at stand up comedy. Your camera is in focus. Thank You.

Bought the truck, it wouldn't start. Alarm system killed off the ignition switch. I used a test starter tool the past 2 years, wired to that relay. Finally, moving on to a correct solution. Thanks for posting a clean video.

You are my Hero. Thanks for the video it saved me. The 15 amp fuse you mention in the video was blown and blew even after replacing the starter solenoid relay you also mention. The truck will start when one uses the "terminal post shorting " technique". Since you mentioned that the key start voltage is routed through the transmission sensor harness I checked there. Squirrels had eaten thorough the harness covering and insulation of the wires inside causing a short. I was able to re-insulate the bundle and all was well with my truck. Thanks

This was most helpful, my 15amp fuse under the dash was blown. I used a new one and it went again. I pulled the solenoid wire and used a test light. Test light worked nicely with each turn of the switch. I have a new solenoid on the way, surprised that it failed short and not open. Cheers

Most informative no nonsense video I've found so far for my no crank issue im having. Thanks.

Perfect, helped me verify new neutral safety switch died after a few days.

Update comment. Thank you again. I had a 20 amp fuse in the position you showed. I could jump the solenoid and it cranked. Had full voltage all the way to the solenoid, with the wire off the solenoid, but only 8 volts when connected to the solenoid. The 20 amp fuse blew during testing. I replaced the solenoid. DONE!! Drawing too much current. Thank You.

Thanks for this video. Exactly what youtube was intended for..I was able to help a family get their ride going so they could get out the cold.

Used the cheat of touching pliers to both those hex nuts on passenger side under hood to get my starter unlocked, thanks for the info. Saved me from having to buy a starter right away

[darrentylor]

Some great info, thanks for posting!!!

From another video I looked at, the guy mentioned to look at the 30 amp fuse (the green one) which is the PCM Relay Coil. I replaced mine just in case. My problem has been where F250 randomly doesn't want to crank. Will just make a whirring noise when trying to crank. Replaced batteries, got new battery cables, alternator, thinking that fixed the problem, but had it appear again.
Going to look at those other fuses as well to make sure they are good.

So I crossed the silenoid and I'm only getting a single click...then basically shuts off my whole dash....idk...

Hi .
I followed the starter fuse and switch routing. .
With the key ignition the engine does not crank nor does it start .
If I jump the starter solenoid the engine will crank but will not start .
If I leave the key ignition in the on position and jump the solenoid the engine will start . .
Thanks

Thank you so much, my front 50 amp fuse was completely missing. Truck fired right up

Very good and simple video. Thank you very much.

[sulayenriquez]

Thanks for the video, actually help me to get my starter problem

[HockeyGoon]

Opposite issue. I start my 1999 F250 SD and the starter keeps running. The bendix does not engage the fly wheel but the starter is running, after a few minutes the starter shuts off and the truck runs as normal. If you start the truck and drive a short distance and shut it off the starter keeps running - even with the key shut off and removed. The only way to shut off the starter is to remove the battery cable. I replaced both the solenoid on the fender and the starter switch on the base of the steering column. no change. When I attempt to start the truck with the starter running the bendix did not engage the fly wheel.

Hey mine keeps blowing that 15 amp fuse out of the blue it will start bypassing the relay but everytime you turn the key all the way to start it pops the fuse any ideas before I tear it apart.

[aaronbadgett]

bud i have changed everything multiple times. i will get 3-5 starts from my truck and then the starter will go right back to staying engaged. i have know idea on what to do?

[creekwalker]

I changed the starter, celenoid relay, ignition switch, lock cylynder, i checked the 50 amp fuse, 15 amp fuse. The starter sounds like it wants to work, meaning, the bendix engages but wont turn the motor.
Thanks for uploading video.
