I have an 84 6.9 I am trying to get running. Got new batteries (Autocraft 27-2), tried to start and the solenoid clicked and no crank. Figured it was the starter and got a new one, old one looked pretty weathered when it was pulled. Got a new one, installed it easily, went to start and still the solenoid clicks but no crank.
Hooked the relay B & M posts up as per the Chilton manual, didn't do anything. Hooked the starter right up to the battery with a jumper cable, again nothing.
Am I missing something? Did the auto parts store give me the right batteries? That's all I can think of if I'm hooking up right to the starter and nothing happens. I will try cleaning the terminals tomorrow, but they don't look that bad not to pass any current to the starter.
Much thanks for any help.
