- 1992 Ford Explorer
ok so i have a manual 92 ford explorer that has been a stubborn ass for the last two weeks and won't wake up. About two weeks ago i was trying to teach a friend how to drive stick... he killed it coming out of the driveway because he sucks at driving stick then got it started again and drove three blocks and killed it at the light.... it wouldn't start again.
I thought that it may have been the little red wire on the starter... it has fallen off a few times before and everytime i put it back on it started right back up. However i checked it and it was fine.... still wouldnt start. It still had power and would just do the one click and thats it....
So then i pushed it back to the house and found i melted part of the wiring harness on the exaughst manifold so i took that off saudered it back together (yes i checked my connections and it is fine) then put that back on and still nothing.... then i discovered i had also melted my positive battery cable so i replaced that one two days ago.... and had a friend help me push start it and jump the clutch and it ran fine.... however its not starting with the key
so.... i replaced the starter solenoid/ starter relay (whatever you want to call it its mounted on the side wall next to the battery my stock one had 3 post the new one has 4 and the extra one isnt being used) thinking that i may have shorted it out when i melted the wires. but its still doing the same thing everything turns on, one click and it wont start....
what do i do now? please help... i got RSP and Military appointments i gotta make before i ship out in November
