  1. Noobie Bronco Tech Questions. Flame free zone!
    Having startup issues with a 1994 Bronco with the 5.8 and E4OD. Recently let the truck sit for about two weeks after performing some work with the doors / lights on. Battery seemed to drain and wouldn't start, so I jumped it using an external battery pack on the terminals. Fired up shortly...

    New to forums. New to car mechanics. 86 Bronco randomly wont start. When I turn ignition, makes a screeching/grinding sound. Friend of mine tells me I need to find the starter box (usually situated underneath the passenger seat..?) and bang it a couple of times. Since it's my first post, I...

    Help!!! 87 full size bronco 5.0L I'm stumped. I have been having a problem for the last year that when the car gets up to temp and I go to restart it after a few minutes, it acts like the battery is dead but after it cools down it starts up no problem. I have read about heat-soak causing the...

    Been having trouble with my 94 5.8 bronco. Truck wouldn’t start after work yesterday, battery replaced, starter and starter solenoid replaced, checking ignition switch tomorrow. Did have a loose circuit breaker that I wanted to replace but can’t seem to find info on what the amperage is. Any...
  5. Noobie Bronco Tech Questions. Flame free zone!
    1995 XLT, 174k miles, new starter, new solenoid, new(ish) battery, so I'm wondering if the cables are setup correctly. I've found other posts on here about using the new-style starter and solenoid including wiring diagrams etc. I was wondering if anyone could give me a sanity check here so I can...

    i was wheeling this weekend on some pretty tough jeep trails when i noticed i lost 1st gear intermittently throughout the day. i assumed the trans was getting hot from rock crawling in 4x4 Low all day and tried to shut it off and let it cool down a few times when we took breaks. after a break i...

    I don’t know what to do at this point. One day I go to warm up the 95 bronco and it didn’t start, it made the clicking noise when I tried to turn it over. First thing I did was check the relay on the fender. It was pretty old so I figured might as well change it out. Still the click. So I...

    Hey guys, I have a '94 5.0 Full Size Bronco. Looking for a part number for the wiring that goes from the Starter Relay (solenoid) to the Starter. In particular the ground. I have some corroded (27 year old) wires. It is causing it to short out. I've done some research on my own, but can't...
  9. Noobie Bronco Tech Questions. Flame free zone!
    Hey all, I'm pretty handy with automotive stuff but electrical systems are a mystery. I bought an 86 Bronco 4x4 a month or so ago that ran fine and have it garaged as I restore it. Currently the interior is gutted and it won't start (battery is good, lights come on, and engine tries to turn...

    Hey just wanted to let everyone know about this. I've just done a rebuild on an 86 full size and had been going through starters and flex plates every couple months. Everyone sells the 9 tooth starter and ford calls for it on the 164 tooth flex plate. The 10 tooth starter is the fix for this...
  11. Noobie Bronco Tech Questions. Flame free zone!
    I recently replaced my starter solenoid and now my truck has no power at the key. Not even accessory lights. I turn the key and nothing happens. I can still connect the terminals on both solenoids and it will crank. I really wanted to run around with the top off on the 4th of July too, and all...
  12. General Discussion/ Bronco and Wheeling related.
    Hey guys I’m new to the page. I have a 1996 5.8 that the tranny went out on. I bought a donor bronco to swap the trannys with. The donor was a 1995. I did the swap everything was good until I tried to start it. When I tried to start it it seems like the starter is drawing way too much power from...

    Hey Team, I have an interesting problem with my 89 with the 302. I just picked it up a couple of weeks ago and am just now tearing in to it. It has a very hard time cranking over to start. Ok no worries, replaced the battery (the old was a China made no namer) and figured that would be it. It...

    I have a 1989 bronco with the 351 Windsor in I purchased it about a week ago and drive it from Maryland to New Jersey along the way if I stopped the engine would cut off and I’m not sure why but I could always start it back up. As I was pulling into my driveway it died and I was unable to start...
  15. Noobie Bronco Tech Questions. Flame free zone!
    Hey guys! So my 92 bronco with a 351w and E4OD has had an intermittent issue with not wanting to start. Sometimes the key will start it and sometimes it won't. Recently replaced are the Ignition switch, Ignition Lock Cylinder, and MLPS all for different reasons outside of this one and not just...
  16. Noobie Bronco Tech Questions. Flame free zone!
    This is a topic I’ve seen posted around the internet, but suggestions vary wildly. Looking at the truck 2 weeks ago before I bought it, it started and ran fine (and supposedly has for years as a daily) but while looking at it it quit wanting to start at all. The guy replaced the fuel pump relay...

    Over the years, your old Direct Drive OEM Starter has probably been very reliable. These starters utilize a large field coil to create a magnetic field which moves the drive gear into contact with the flywheel. But eventually you probably have found several performance issues that may have...
