With an ex. solenoid (All old rangers) a volt meter and a screwdriver (dad's favorite), you can test a battery and starter in less than a minute.

I know ford did a lot of external solenoids. I have no idea whether Billays ranger has an external solenoid or not. I’m not going to look it up because I’m not invested enough to do it. He can do that and change it if he’s so inclined.

All that being said, I have no butt****ing clue what you’re trying to puke out on my screen.

Well whatever the **** it is I've been able to start it up the 7 times I've tried and I really do think the way its parked helps but I have no ****ing clue. Atleast now hopefully I'll be able to drive it to the shop instead of getting it towed. Small victories.

I used to have a 1998 Dodge Caravan that must have had the fuel pump way in the back of the tank, because if it had less than 1/8 of a tank and I parked it downhill, it would not start. But it didn't click, it would just crank and crank but never fire.

his truck goes "click" if it was a neutral switch (LOL) or no fuel it wouldn't click..

FYI a car parked on an angle should start and then die, then crank, no start.

I don't want to explain, just accept it's the truth

If it's just a single click, I'll bet it's the bendix in the starter getting jammed up. A dead battery will cause a rapid, repeated clicking in the solenoid.

Your starter's days are numbered.

I don't have battery cables but I do have a battery reader and the battery was at 12.3 Volts.

Any idea what might be the issue? I'm thinking a starter.
Buy a car that isn't 23 years old. I've had good luck with 5-10 year old used cars.

Pffft...I have an 18 year old Grand Cherokee and a 24 year old Camaro, I would drive either of them anywhere without a second thought.

Starter is ****ed. Get it to a shop or get one bought ASAP. You can get a hammer and hit the starter. It will work until it won't.

I had a 300 Ford on an irrigation well and it did the same thing. I tried to make it a summer. It worked once.

Which one would you drive to the all male strip club without a second thought?
