1997 Ford Taurus Starter problems


Question:

We replace the starter but when we went to put the positive cable back on the battery the starter started to crank without the engine being turned on. Did we put the starter on wrong?

Answer:

The problem is that on the back of the starter there is a small wire that goes to the "s" terminal and The positive cable. The positive cable is touching the small wire , so the Starter is getting power on the "s" terminal wire and thinks you want the starter to crank. Separate the two wires from touching and all should be fine once more.
