Battery, starter, or solenoid most likely. Check the juice and all the connections. Including ones on the alternator.

a weird clicking nosie comes from the starter solenoid...how much does a new 1 cost???

i replaced my starter/solenoid togethor probabaly two months ago, cost me 140 bucks if i remember right.

well the noise is coming from the thing on the fender well that has the batt connections and ground it clicks once and nothing happens..tried jumpin it but that failed so what is that part and how much does it cost?

Sounds like it's just the solenoid on the fender.

 

[SHOman247]

how does it cost and where can i get 1?...can i use one off a slo?

The starter solenoid is the same as on a SLO. They cost less than $10 at most auto parts stores and is a generic part. Ford has used the same one for years.

Look in the phone book for a parts store and call them for exact pricing.

Don't be too surprised if you find you also have problems with either the starter itself, the battery connections, or either cable from the battery.

Just had the same experence last week, well not the stalling, Was the starter, $108.00 at autozone, I picked up a used one at the junkyard for $30.00, Had to push start for three days, kinda doh
