Hotdog Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Vehicle: 2004 Ford F150 super crew with 5.4l I am having a no crank / no start issue. It just happened 7/7/2014 when I went shopping. I returned to the truck and nothing at all when I turned the key. I have lights inside. I check all the fuses in the fuse panel. I pulled the battery and had tested and it was bad so I put a brand new battery in. Cleaned all the contact points on the cables to the battery. Still nothing ? When the key is turned you can here typical noises but when key is turned to start I can hear a clicking noise in the fuse panel and it seems to concide with the radio shutting back off. Security light is normal Tried tapping on the starter with a hammer still no crank or start. At this point I think it has to be the starter, would this be a correct assessment?

truthsayer Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Possibly the starter solenoid. truthsayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 When you turn the key, is there a 'click' or a 'clunk' ? Or neither. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotdog Posted July 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 I hear a click and that is it. The click happens when the radio goes off and I can hear the click coming from the fuse panel.

truthsayer Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Try to start it by jumping the starter with the ignition key on. You could have an ignition problem. truthsayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotdog Posted July 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 found the problem. the solenoid wire to the starter was so corroded that it detached.

truthsayer Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Glad to hear you found it, that's why I always check the solenoid first. Makes you feel good when it's a simple fix and doesn't cost anything. truthsayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotdog Posted July 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 I got a new starter coming anyway. Might as well replace it so I dont have to fight with this again in the near future.
