Hey there BZ community. Been following along for a while, but first post here.
I've had my 1996 XLT 5.8 with 130,000 miles (currently) as a daily driver in Toronto for the last 3 years with not too, too much issue.
A recent thing that is periodically getting worse...
I've had my 1996 XLT 5.8 with 130,000 miles (currently) as a daily driver in Toronto for the last 3 years with not too, too much issue.
A recent thing that is periodically getting worse...
-When I try to start, I'm getting 1 loud click coming from the starter area
-for a while I'd just try a handful of times and it would eventually turnover, but it's getting worse
-battery is new
-I get the same click (or sometimes start) when I bridge the terminals on the relay
-also, I'm pretty sure I saw sparks appear in the starter area when I was bridging the terminals today
Does this sound like the starter or maybe or battery cables/ground? To me, cables are all looking good.
Sorry, I know this topics been covered a lot, hoping my info is specific enough for an obvious answer.
