Hi All,
New to the forum. I have a 2000 F250 7.3 manual tranny that was put away for winter storage and now will not start. Need it to get my weekend work done now that the snow is finally gone.

Symptoms:
- not cranking
- no dash lights (no oil light, battery light, etc.)
- radio works
- head lights work
- key buzzer works
- can hear clicking when turn key (assume solenoid OK)

Put in two new batteries, fully charger and terminals are clean.

Where should I start looking? Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

IF THE SOLENOID FOR THE STARTER IS CLICKING LOOK AT THE STARTER.

 

Thanks for the reply. Finally got around to it over the weekend.

- Battery is new and checked OK
- Terminals are clean
- Terminals are tight
- Solenoid has power when ignition on start
- Checked fuse #30 under the dash, OK
- Did not have time to check starter

Would starter stop the Wait to Start light not coming on?

I'll check starter this coming weekend
