Not sure how often the Shade Tree forum is read but thought I'd give it a try as I'm stumped. I've got a 98 Ford Powerstroke diesel truck. Drove it home one day and parked it, no sign of trouble. Didn't need it for a couple of weeks then went to start it and it really laboured to turn the engine over, sounded like it was turning but slowly.
Thought it was the battery and after charging didn't work bought a new one and even with a full charge and my charger set at 80a start mode, then 200a start mode, nothing but a click. Sounds like the relay but if I short the relay near the battery it doesn't do anything.
I've considered the range sensor, the starter solenoid and the starter itself but short on time and wondered if anyone could narrow the problem for me with the info given.
