help please van won't start
Hey guys looks my starter went out were the heck is the starter on a ford e150 I wanted to tap on it to see IG I can get it started again
Re: help please van won't start
6 cyl or 8?
I know on my V8 Triton it's on the R side of eng below the exhaust manifold, as it is on most eng.
You can see it by looking threw the R wheel well on most cars.

Re: help please van won't start
If you locate it, and get to it you can jump the leads and turn it over,
The small lead is the starter solenoid
Take screw drive and bridge that to the big battery cable coming down to the side of the starter. If starter itself is not bad it will turn it over.
A lot of times the solenoid is what goes bad.
Oh and make sure your in park sometimes that doesn't engage very well
or like me set parking break turn of van and forget to put it in park.

Re: help please van won't start
So what did you end up doing Mo? You made it back home?
Did you have to get a tow?

Re: help please van won't start
Ford likes to have a separate solenoid from the starter. If that is the case, real easy repair and start carrying a spare.

Mo... Did you forget to put it in park? then jump in ready to go...o o o no my van wont start oh crapMo wrote:Yeah it started kind of embarassing sitting in the driveway
I have done that before my parking brake works real good always set it before I put the van in park so it doesn't put the tranny in a bind
