Re: 1999 or escort not starting

Carefully hook a jumper wire to the signal connector on the starter solenoid. Put the car in neutral ( or park if it's an automatic ) with the parking brake on.

Connect a pair of jumper cables to the battery.
Connect the jumper wire from the starter solenoid to the (+) jumper cable.

Does it crank?


Incase you're wondering, the purpose of the jumper cables is so that you don't cause a spark near the battery. That can cause battery explosions in certain situations.
