I been having issues with my starter and I finally decided to pull It today. I bought It used of a member here at the same time i had a new flexplate installed, it popped right off and there was One wire connected and another not connected both are from the same harness. The thick One thats probably the 12+volt
Was connected the other skinnier One was just hanging. Should both be on there?

The smaller cable should be ur ground cable, find somewhere metal to connect it to, doesnt matter where as long it has a secure ground connection.

Make sure your solenoid (fender mounted) is good? Ford's go through those often lol.

I connected the ground and slapped the starter back in there real tight, it cranks and starts right up. ![[worship]](graemlins/worship.gif)
But i still have this battery drain that i cant seem to track down. If i leave the battery posts connected it will drain my battery. Ill take a pic of the solenoid to see if theres anything there wrongly connected. ![[Confused]](confused.gif)
