68 ford , replaced starter

Unread post by shelly.zabroski » Tue Feb 12, 2013 11:21 pm

I have a 68 ford f 150. Put a new starter in it. It fired up, then died. Now when you turn the key you get a click then buzzing from the silinoid. What should I do now? :?:

The buzzing and clicking of any relay or solenoid is usually caused by low voltage or a bad ground. The starter or solenoid is not going to cause the truck to die out, so i am guessing you replaced the starter because it would not crank over.

Follow the positive and negative battery cables from the battery all the way along. Look for a loose connection or corrosion. Corrosion will be green crud on a connector or terminal.

If the main cables look good, start checking all wiring harnesses.
