2006 Tarus starter intermitent/no crank?

[jt32199]

2006 Tarus SEL 3.0 non-flex fuel. Intermittent no crank. Only after I drive for awhile and stop somewhere. Wait 1 hr and cranks. Obviously a overheat problem. Battery good. Starter relay new. I bought a Autozone Duralast starter. Now runs fine.

However, this starter came with a new short wire attached to the S post on the solenoid. The full page directions said that I had to cut my solenoid S terminal wire back 6" and crimp on this supplied wire. It feels like a solid core wire. The note on the wire said:

Warning - Ford has determined that corrosion in the last 4" of the vehicals S-Terminal (ignition) lead may have been the cause of / or could result in a no start condition".

I called my Ford dealer and they did'nt know anything about this. Has anyone heard of this? I'll gladly scan this note and post it if I can figure out how.

I'm no newbie to automotive repair. I've had to own many a $500 car (poverty) and had to repair them.
