The usual cause is the dog (gear) on the end does not move out fast enough due to dust/dirt build up.
A clean and lubricate with dry silicon lube will sort that issue out.
Disconnect the battery, disconnect the power cable on the rear of the starter motor.
Unbolt and remove the staer motor, clean lubricate NOT WITH OIL! that will make it attract more dust and reassemble.

Apr 5, 2019 - Fuse box diagram (location and assignment of electrical fuses and relays) for Ford Freestyle (2005, 2006, 2007).

Starter soups but doesn't engage. Clicking sound: you hear it spinning with a click sound before it starts spinning. No grinding sound. The mechanism to engage the fly wheel could be faulty, probably it is seized, or battery doesn't have enough power to make the solenoid fully pull mechanism (check battery amps charge if low. You may need to look at the starter as someone turns the motor over and make sure it's engaging all the way to fly wheel.
Sometimes you may need to Shem or file down where the two bolts go into the starter too get it far enough into the starter casing to get it to engage.

Do you know what the starter relay is ? Starter Relay
The starter relay:

• is a mini ISO relay that switches power to the starter solenoid to engage the starter motor.
• receives a START signal from the ignition switch.
• is controlled by the powertrain control module (PCM).

Starter System - Operation
When the ignition switch is turned to the START position, the starter relay switches power to the starter solenoid causing the starter motor to engage as long as:

• the digital transmission range (TR) sensor is in PARK or NEUTRAL.
• the anti-theft system is operational.
• Do you know what an automotive wiring diagram is ? How to use a test light or DVOM - digital volt ohm meter .

No crank good starter how to troubleshoot any car Hyundai

free wiring diagrams here http://www.bbbind.com/free-tsb Enter vehicle info. year , make , model an engine size . Under system click on engine , then under subsystem click on starting . Click the search button then the blue link. Looking at the diagram i see the PCM - engine computer has too energize the starter relay for the starter to engage an spin the engine . Any light's lit on the instrument cluster , security , check engine light etc..... Automatic or CVT transmission ?

Yes, it is possible for the starter to spin without the solenoid engaging. The solenoid pushes the spring loaded gear forward to engage the flywheel.
You need to crawl back under your vehicle and ensure you've properly attached all wires. It should look similar to this:
If these wires are properly attached, then check for power and/or damage to wires. The secondary will only energize when the ignition switch is engaged, so you'll need help (test when not attached to starter).

What about your security system? It is a starter disable. If you remove starter relay and use jumper wire between terminals 30 and 87, the starter motor should crank. If you try that, make sure tranny is in park or neutral and parking brake is set. If it cranks, the problem is on control side of relay, right side, in the diagram. Make sure battery has a full charge.

Hi Mark
Sounds like you are doing all the right things.
We used to Load Test a Starter Motor by putting it in a Large Vice and connecting a known good battery with solid fat jumper leads.
When the solenoid throws the cog forward to engage we would use a 2 by 4 block of wood levered against the cog to try and stop the starter from spinning. The wood burns up under load but it quickly proves the Starter is functioning under load. Without using the engine.
Also you could try removing the spark plugs on the engine to allow the compression to escape. Make sure NO sparks around to ignite any fuel vapor.
The engine should spin over easily like this and you can hear & see if anything is binding up.
Hope this Helps!
Good luck!

Are you sure the battery is up to snuff. A low battery will let the lights come on but not enough power to turn engine over. If you hear a clicking sound when you try to start the engine that usually means the battery is low. Try boosting or put a charger on the battery and try that.
