I cant get my truck started it turns over but wont start i think it might be the connection to the battery how do i change the battery cables
if it turns over but will not start, its either theft locked or the fuel pump is bad . start by checking the fuses in the fuse box under the hood .. if there is a problem like it was jumped with the cables backward it will blow one of the 40 or 50 amp fused in the fuse box, if those are ok see if the theft light is flasing, some 98s do have trasponder keys the can loose program. if the theft light is no on and the fuses are good check the inertia switch it will shut off fuel to the engine. its located in the right front kick panel ,remove the kick panel and make sure its pushed, if all that is ok and you still think its the cables , have some one crank the engine while you wiggle the cables if it starts then and you do need to replace the cable the easyest way is to buy the cable extesions at the parts house, that is a cable end with a piece of batt, wire that has a screw fastener ,just cut the old batt, cables of strip the ends and insert into the new fastner and tighten the screw
thank you the problem is the 2000 winstar well crank over but will not start.all i did was put in a new sterio .batt cable was taken off before anything was done
does the vehicle have a remote start system installed.take off the gas cap have some turn the key on the key and see if u can listen for the fuel pump to come on.
