Re: 1992 Ford Aerostar - won't start, only click...

A follow up to checking the starter cable. Many poeple test these cables using an Ohmmeter. Under no load conditions, an Ohmmeter can give a good reading on bad cables especially if one is pushing the probes into the cable (an intermitent connections can eventually be a temporary good connection under these conditions).

The only sure way of checking if the 12 volts get to the starter is by connecting a voltmeter to the starter bolt where the 12 volt cable connects and chassis ground then turing the key to start. If the 12 volts is still at the starter and the engine does not turn over then it is not that cable problem.

Good luck
