Helping a friend with his 1999 Ford taurus. Need to know about wiring for the starter.I have positive wire from battery to starter and a wire that runs from the starter selinoid into a wire loom.I'm assuming this other wire should be hot when key is in start position. All lights and accessories work but starter will not engage and turnover engine.

i have a 94 ford taurus thats doing the same thing it happened 5 months ago i change thesilver fuse in the fuse panel in the car fired right up now its doing again and i did the same thing again with no results
When I turn the key, it turns over very slowly if at all. If it doesn't start I let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes and then it will go. After I drive it and turn it off, it will start right up. The battery is relatively new. Do I need a new starter?
Ford taurus connot run but good starter and battery
