Hi all,


Our 2006 V6 mustang will push start (and then run fine) but won't crank start.


Battery voltage at rest is fine, battery and starter cables appear fine, lights/radio work, and I removed the starter and Autozone said it tested good.


Are there other things I can check myself (ignition switch, clutch position sensor, etc)? Don't know much about automechanics, but I can use a wrench, multimeter, etc.


Thanks

 

check your ground cables. ground to body, engine to body. good luck

 

Well, when I put the starter back on, it started right up. Maybe the ground or one of the cables was loose, but I don't think so. I am afraid the problem is just waiting to happen again; we'll see.


At least my daughter learned how to push start a car!
