2016 GT350 Not Starting/Turning Over PLEASE HELP!!!!

[stanglife]

Sorry but I have been looking for this color for a long long time, and it has such low mileage and it is MINT!!! EXCEPT it just does not work....it's like a GIANT PAPER WEIGHT....LOL

Of course not, you're reasonable. Just poking a joke at the recent trend of expectation of perfection.

this guy had a starting issue, turned out to be starter. Another guy had loose harness to the starter. reseating the starter relay in the fuse box helped for a few days (coincidence prob) but shows a photo of location in the fuse box.

Thanks VBGT350, I did see that when I was searching, I swapped the relays (since they are the same) thinking maybe that one was bad. But still NO start. I did order new clutch sensors from my FORD Dealership. Hopefully that will fix it. If not, then need to replace starter.

For what it's worth, I have a 2016 and the starter started acting up only when warm/hot. It's why my first question to you was when does it happen.

Would never throw a code either. After multiple repair attempts, and the dealership going so far as willing to loan me their diagnostic laptop to log data every time I start the car, they ended just replacing the starter and I never had a problem with the starter since.

Okay FORUM members, I picked up both the sensors Part# SW 6578 (lower sensor) and Part# SW 6490 (upper sensor) from the Rockwall Ford Dealership..... so you all know I checked all the stuff that was recommended to check. What I did know was that when I pressed in the clutch I could hear the fuel pump kit on..........so I had a feeling it may be the upper sensor. So after like 30 minutes of bending my back and angling and fighting the tight space and figuring out how the hell to take the old sensor out and put the new one in I did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got the upper sensor installed.

Then I went and got my key, I sat down in the seat and said please my SMOKIN HOT COBRA START!!!!! and I pressed the clutch in and pressed the MAGIC button and like BUTTER she started.....

Unreal YA ALL a $5.40 part and I spent countless of hours, a new battery, two month of not running, a couple of tears here and there. Lots of CURSE WORDS, and multiple headaches. So please for those that come across this in the future.....read this THREAD, read the great help from these awesome FORUM MEMBERS, and try the simple stuff first. Troubleshoot your way.


With that being said A BIG F*IN thank you to all that commented and provided information. You saved me so much additional pain and $$$$$$$ so like I said if you are ever in Wylie TX or close you message me and come on by, and MODELO NEGRO is on me.

That is so cool you almost forget about all the aggravation you had up until this point......
So glad it worked out for you.

Moderators can we make this s sticky in case someone else gas the sane issue? This could save the next individual a lot of money and aggravation chasing their tail. Just my humble opinion .
