SOURCE: Location Of Starter relay switch

sometimes its the simple things. On the foot pedal for the clutch are rubber grommets that push the switch in on the manual trans. they get old and fall off or develop holes in them so the switch does not get depressed.

SOURCE: 1998 ford explorer/ need location to remove and

If your going to be removing all of this I recommend you get the Haynes repair manual on the vehicle so you have the illustrations and directions for dis-assembly and assembly of the starter. The starter should be located on the bottom right of the engine where the Transmission attaches.

Location of starter relay fuse , 1994 ford explorer

There is no fuse, the solenoid (relay) gets its power direct from the battery, there is no other relay for the starter. What's the problem? Use comment to get a faster answer. Take care.

98 Ford explorer sport.new fuel pump,have spark no power to the relay..a emergency must start and fix temporary or will be towed. Urgent.tempoary fix

Get a separate copper wire. Connect one end to the positive terminal on the battery, the other to the starter relay positive terminal. This will by pass your key switch and fuses to allow the starter relay to close. Before you do this, turn your key in the ignition switch on. Only touch the wire to the relay/battery briefly to start the explorer then remove it after the car has started. Touching the wire is acting like a starter switch. One side of a battery starter cable set could be the wire.

98 ford expedition xlt,when i turn key switch on, all it does is make a load clicking sound, battery is new and fulley charged

The Solenoid Switch that controls the starter is bad. If you can get someone to help you. Have them turn the key while you listen under the hood for where ehe clicking is comming from. 2 different Solenoids were used on this model one built on the starter the other mounted on the finder well near the battery. Repair is simple if replacing the Solenoid mounted on the finder well. If it is the starter mounted unit the starter will have to be removed. Most auto parts stores will allow you to use the Chiltons manuel in the their store to lookup removal instructions.Auto Zone, Advanced Auot parts PEP BOYS O'Reillys. All do this as a free service.
Hope this helps

98 explorer fog light always on

reference your owners manual for relay location, if you do not have one you can download it at www.fleet.ford.com , the relay for the fog lights should be under hood in power distribution box, ford relay are notorious for hanging up in closed and open positions, pull the relay and see if the lights go out? if so replace relay, try the same for interior lights, that relay should be inside in the fuse box. hope this helps, let me know
