Chad Becker Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 i just bought a 99 F250 4WD with the 5.4 in it i put a brand new starter in it. When i turn the key to try to start it, it just cranks the motor once and stops. The starter isn't grinding or clicking, the motor clicks once and move the belt and pulley a little but that's it. Anyone have any ideas on what would cause this? Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordtech1 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 See if the crank can be turned with a ratchet. If you can't turn it then remove belt. If you still can't turn it then it's internal engine problem more than likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campingnut Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Are you sure the battery is good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
