I HAVE A 2000 MUSTANG GT WITH ABOUT 80K MILES. I GOT INTO MY CAR TODAY AND THE TURN THE IGNITION AND THE CAR WONT START! DOES NOT EVEN CRANK! I PUT A NEW BATTERY AND CHECK ALL FUESES AND WIRES, EVERYTHING IS FINE, IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM THE NIGHT BEFORE AND IT NEVERGAVE ME THIS PROBLEM! EVER! BEFORE I JACK UP MY CAR AND CHECK THE STARTER, ANY SUGGESTIONS BEFORE I GO THROUGH THIS HASSEL?

 

If you're sure the battery is charged, then I don't know why the car wouldnt even be trying to start.

Alternator might be bad and drained the battery but that's unlikely.

Good luck.

 

is there anything happening at all when you turn the ignition? clicking or just nothing?

 

everything turns on, lights,wipers,radio,gauges, etc. but i dont here the starter clicking or moving at all! but that starter never showed any signs that it was giving out.......

 

Maybe Fuel Pump Switch or Bad Fuel Pump.

 

sounds like the starter solenoid if you axe me. obviously the battery is fine. I'm not sure that the starter would necessarily show signs of going bad before it craps out. I don't see what else it could be. I think if it was a fuel system issue, it would crank but not start.

 

yeah i dont think its the fuel system.... i was talking to a friend and he said it might be the 'neutral safety swith' it located on the clutch?????

 

i believe your problems your ground on the battery post. try to twist it then crank it. happened to me 2 nights ago and that was the problem!

 

be sure your connections are tight to your selinoid and starter! if its a bad connection it wont do nothing but your lights will still come on and ect... i would take all the cables off and clean them with some steel wool and clean the terminals too then reconnect and try again! let me know if that works

 

OK, ALL THE CONECTION ARE FINE, BUT. I FOUND A LITTLE PROBLEM THE WIRE THAT CONECTS TO THE STARTER SELINOID IS NOT GETTING POWER, I BACK TRACKED THE WIRE LEEDS TO THE 'POWER DISTRIBUTER BOX' LOCATED NEXT TO THE BATTERY.AND I DONT HAVE MY OWNERS MANUEL TO TELL THE DIFFRENCE BETWEEN ALL THE FUESES IN THAT BOX??
