Car Forum / Ford / Ford Cars / November 20061997 Aerostar starter- thunk when starting
Just after I start my 1997 Ford Aerostar, I hear a thunk then the key is released. It is definitely coming from the engine and not the ignition switch. I once had a truck where the soleniod (sp) got sticky and wouldn't cone back into place properly. Could this be the case here? Also replacing a starter in a Aerostar- is that a "bolt off/bolt on operation"??? Thanks on advance! > Just after I start my 1997 Ford Aerostar, I hear a thunk then the key > is released.

Get a flashlight, pull it over a ditch, crawl under. For diagrams log onto autozone.com and enter vehicle, select repair.  SignatureYeh, I'm a Krusty old Geezer, putting up with my 'smartass' is the price you pay..DEAL with it! Bump! to top! Thanks for the advise. But they have no diagrams for the Aerostar. I know in the past, I've seen that some ofthe parts (I believe the entire engine and cooling system) on the Aerostar are shared with the Ford Ranger- I wonder if the starter diagrams are similar??? Thanks again! It is a simple bolt off bolt on setup for the Aerostar. Assuming you've done it before, allow for about 15 minutes. Was real easy on my '92 until some bozo in a Shivvy Astro t-boned it....grumble G > Bump! to top! > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Thanks again! > Was real easy on > my '92 {Aerostar} until some bozo in a Shivvy Astro t-boned it....grumble Heh... ever think about the irony of that? I mean it could'a been a Caravan, even, but a competitor RWD! SignatureYeh, I'm a Krusty old Geezer, putting up with my 'smartass' is the price you pay..DEAL with it! |
