SOURCE: wont turn over after new starter fitted hv can only jump start by turning over at starter
hello there, i was wondering if your starter has a solenoid attached on top of it? if in which case it has, on the solenoid you'll possibly see 2 hex screws on the rear portion of the solenoid. a size 12mm hex screw. attached to one of the screw is a short wire guage 8 or guage 6 coming out of the starter. the other screw should be directly attached to the positive terminal of the battery using a heavy guage battery cable. a protruding terminal with a philipps screw or a terminal lug connector is for the starter switch. you could test you starter if you attach a guage 14 wire from that terminal lug and try to directly swipe it on the positive terminal of the battery. warning! this might produce sparks. keep flameable solvents, gasoline and other materials that might ignite away from your testing area. be careful, the heavy ampere output of the battery can burn cables instantly. so do try to keep the positive cables away from the body of the starter which is the negative side of your starter.

If you know the batter is good.
Check the Starter to see it is getting power.
Get a test light [6.00] and see if the starter will light up the test light.
If not - then you may need a new starter. From the sounds of it you might want to take it to a professional as this can be a very labor intense job because the starter has to come out the bottom.
SOURCE: i have a 04 sedona.
Could be a miss aligned switch try wiggling the shifter in park the next time it dose not start to see if starts.Also dirty battery cables will give you the same crazy makes no sense problems. Clean both the post of the battery and the cable ends and make sure they are tight. Your car needs a completely charged battery (14.2volt at the ignition) to start, were as the radio and other electronics, locks, windows, etc. only need a few amps. .
SOURCE: it wont start, just makes a clicking noise. put
Clicking noise usually means a bad connection at the battery terminal. It can also be a bad connection at the starter or solenoid.
Re-clean and tighten battery cables,and if that doesn't do it,re-tighten starter connections.Don't overtighten as copper-bronze studs can break easily.If your Ranger is standard shift (4 or 5-speed), don't get under the car or in front of it without the battery cables disconnectede or the shifter in neutral,as any current you inadvertently send thru the starter can engage it and run you over or knock the vehicle off jackstands or blocks. don-ohio
