they should fire the guy who thought putting the fuse box down under the glove compartment against the side wall was a good idea.

you are genius brother , am really glad i found you earlier before getting another new starter. Big THANKS

Thank you buddy you saved my butt. I was going up the interstate truck guide a few different times couldn't figure it out it wouldn't start back immediately and what your video played with that fused and it was very loose but got it pushed back in truck started right up. I am 10 minutes up the interstate now no more dying hopefully it was a fix

That was super useful! I have to wait till tomorrow morning to try it. you explained my symptoms exactly, tho; I haven't replaced the starter yet and I was really hoping to not have to spend that kind of money. If nothing else, you've given me another thing to try before I cough up the loot

Exact same problem here, bought a new one at autozone, replaced it and bingo!!! Started like a matchstick. Thanks buddy.

So a starter Relay? I gotta try this. My truck is on our logging trail way up in the Rockies. Imagine my surprise when I had a one-click start, no turnover, just a single click. With a brand Brand new battery, and Alternator. Dash lights responsive, no dips. I had to walk out at 4pm at night, at 9900 feet elevation down the canyon on foot with no cars up there, 11 miles in the dark with bears, mountain lions n sht. TO find the store was closed. But I got a signal. So I'll be trying a starter relay. Don't get into logging. It'll kill ya,. Next time I'll pack a gun on that kind of hike. scared the crap out of me. Luckily all I came across, literally, was a heard of Elk. Last night was a real BLAST

I was about to swap the starter out, think I’ll try this first! Thanks! I got an ‘02 w the 4.6, exact same issues, lights and all working fine, no turn over, nothing.

Thank you sir, my truck is running now

Thank you sir just had the same issue to I got home from have dinner with my wife turn the truck off dashboard same on even with the key out I try to turn the truck back on nothing pull that same fuse and behold it came right on

This video was so helpful thank you so much

Good job, I'm doing the same thing and you just might have caused me to keep from having such a headache even though I've already took my starter out. Thanks for your documentation great tip

I was chasing my power back to the starter looking for a short somewhere! This was a huge money saver. Thanks!

Thank you! Have a 2006 that started just doing this.

Excellent thanks Dave.

THANK YOU SIR. i replaced my starter twice, and it happened again an hour ago. going to the store tomorrow to get a new relay. my starter worked when i tapped it with a hammer. so im still not sure. i discovered my started only had two bolts too

Thank you sir for your video!

Thank you sir. I was just on my way to buy an alternator smh after buying two batteries

Thanks for the video. You could have cut to the chase much sooner. 😄

three days ago my truck started doing the same EXACT thing you showed in the beginning of the video, i suspected starter too initially, but i thought there may be another culprit just because like if i wiggle around in the truck and try taking the key in and out, on like the 5th to tenth try it would magically start, so i kinda suspected hey, maybe my chipped key has finally started to fail or somthing because i think they said even our kind of key has a little battery in it that can go out eventually, but i'm gonna go get this relay right now because i have a good feeling this is the issue with my 04 4.6l as well! thanks a bunch man! this is a great way to celebrate the $2,400.00 wheels and tires i litterally just bought for this truck, it thanks me by not starting hahaha.

All is great but you could have said what the relay was for my F150 is similar but it's a 2000 fuse box is different.
