Splitime

Brand new tested starter. By cutting and simply reclamping the wire 2 inches down and it works perfectly now.

My issue was corrosion of the wires hidden within the clamps.

I actually had this problem on my 2003 mazda 6 a few months ago, everytime it rained for a few days or was really humid and I hadn't driven the car within 24 hours, it wouldnt start. The issue ended up being the same as splitime's, the wires insude the clamps on the battery were so corroded that enough current couldnt pass for the starter.

Common problem on the f150s is the big positive wire that attaches to the solenoid corrodes and basically breaks off of the starter. Give that cable a good wiggle and see if it either breaks off or has a lot of green corrosion around it. You can either replace the eyelet or the entire cable if you wish.

If it's not that, it's the starter itself.

I just got the Truck started. Firstly I got out my Haynes manual and decided to see what it said about checking the starting system. It more or less told me to do all the same tests you guys did, except for it gave me pictures so I knew what to look for. I went up to autozone and got a battery terminal cleaning kit. When I took off the terminals their bottoms were covered white acid stuff. I cleaned all that off and then put the terminals back on the battery. When I went to start the truck it did the same thing. After that I jumped the positive from the battery to the ignition post on the starter relay. The starter would turn but the truck would not start. I figured I would try one more time with the key in and the truck in neutral. When I touched the relay the truck started right up. I tried with the key and it started fine. So thanks a lot you guys for the help. Time to head to harbor freight and buy asnd engine hoist.

So I think God does not want me to fix my track car. On the way to HF to buy an engine hoist my oil pressure in the truck dropped to zero. I pulled over into a parking lot and shut off the truck. I checked the oil level and it was fine. I am thinking my sensor died. Unfortunately I did not have any tools with me so I could not check. I will be going back in the morning and doing some test to determine if it is the sensor or not. I really hope that it is the sensor.

So I had my local shop change out my oil pressure switch today. It was at a very odd location and a bitch to get to. Was worth the $20 to have them do it. Right when I pulled in front of my house the gauge started screwing up again. Here is a video of what it is doing. I am planning on going back to the shop tomorrow to show them the video and ask where I should start looking next.

I would say ground. Seeing as corrosion was the culprit before, this may be more of the same.

I'll bet they put teflon tape on the pressure switch. It's grounded by the thread contact to the port.

Unless there's a 2nd ground for the gauge.
