2003 Ford F150 wont turn over.?
I have a 2003 ford f150 and looking for ideas to my problem. Long story short truck ran great, wife went to start it and just clicked so I messed with the starter solenoid (as before I bought the truck it was rigged) truck started right up no problems so my wife drove it the rest of the day. The next day she had to go out of town so I took her truck just incase, and again nothing messed with solenoid fired right up, when to work drove great got to work put it in rev to back into my parking spot and motor just quit light radio everything still worked just motor quit, it has never stalled or even acted as if it would always ran great.
Truck wouldnt start messed with solenoid nothing so had it towed home bought a new starter all together put it in and tried to roll over for about 1/2 a second then nothing, engine wont turn over. So I tried a different starter out of my other truck same thing.
My problem is the engine wont roll over, battery is good starter is good, just wont roll over but run perfect before that.

check also the connections for all the heavy cables particularly at the battery. Remove them all & clean them with a wire brush or emery paper so the they are shiny on the contact faces.

If you have a one-wire starter, you might be the victim of an age-old problem.
Sometimes the nut that holds the wire to the terminal on the starter vibrates loose.
Make sure it is tight.
Be sure to hold the terminal on the starter with another wrench
so that it doesn't twist while you tighten the nut!
If it turns, connections inside the starter can be broken.
Otherwise, the solenoid could be bad.
Keep in mind that even if a meter or test light
seems to indicate that the solenoid is good,
it may not be good enough for the starter.
Starters pull a LOT of current, and even a small resistance (such as bad contacts) can prevent the flow of sufficient power to allow the starter to work.
Solenoids are relatively cheap.
