[QUOTE="THEhamBone, post: 9481663, member: 99780"] Unless you hooked it up wrong, crossed terminals that werent supposed to have power or some shit like that, then you should be fine. Every direction with any part will tell you to disconnect the battery, usually not needed, and in a wiring install they are just making sure you dont cross any wires and blow a fuse/relay or something like that. Im kinda stumped on your problem though. When you turn the ignition on, everything acts fine, it just wont engage the starter when you turn the ignition over right? Are you positive there are no blown fuses? you checked both sides of the fuse with a the multimeter right? If the fuse is blown, one side will still show power, while it wont transfer the power over to the other post because of the blow fused link between. I would pull all the fuses, one by one, triple check them, and wiggle when you put them back in, just to ensure a great connection. Ford fuse boxes do some funny things from time to time.. Do this under the dash and under the hood just to be safe. It cant hurt. Im not sure what a "starter ground" is.. starter doesnt have a ground wire running to it.. just a big power wire, and a small ignition wire for the solenoid. The starter and solenoid both ground through the engine block. The block should have a few grounds, the main ground (biggest) is on the passenger side of the motor, to the motor mount. One of the motor mount bolts is a stud with a nut for the ground wire. When you turn the key over to start, does the radio and such kinda go dead and start back over once you release? or does it all just stay the same? [/QUOTE]
