Hi
I have a 2005 transit jumbo 130 6speed.
Last week it started making funny noises when I started it, later that day when I went to start it it just made a noise and refused to start.
AA called, guy says its the starter motor, tries banging it. Doesn't work. He tow starts me and I get home
Van sits outside house for a week until new starter motor arrives.
Tonight I took old one off and fitted new one. I turn key and nothing. The old one at least still spun when I turned ignition.
I took it off and cleaned the terminals and refit. Still nothing, no clicking or spinning.
Any ideas what might be the issue here. It's tight getting the old one off under the van, thinking I might have loosened a connection elsewhere when trying to turn old motor around to get at connections.
I took new one off and tested it with a battery, it spins fine.
Any help greatly appreciated.
