bad starter?

 

[explodersRkewl]

where is it located, and how do you fix it?

The starter is located under truck passenger side next to rear of engine. Try hitting the starter with a hammer (wake up call).

I just went through that problem with a friend's '97 Ford Tarus......

It was practically everything. Battery, alt and starter were all bad.......took them off one by one and had them bench testedand replaced in an elimination process. Everytime, the word was....."No Good." My normal advice would be to check at the relay by jumpering it. The Tarus couldn't, as they use one of those cubes (relay was it #86 or #87? anyway).......not like the old Explorer uses. And, not to mention that the power relay box cover was for another vehicle and the owner's manual is S*#!.

You could save some time by removing and taking both the battery and alt down to be bench tested at the same time.

Good luck.

i just had the same prob. it was the starter on my 91 i also had to take everything apart and had the parts tested one by one if i had gone with my gut and just replaced the starter in the first place it would have saved me time.

If your battery is only 10 volts, then either put it on a charger for a while, or replace the battery if it can't hold a charge after being on a charger.
