Re: 1999 Ford Expedition wont turn over

Actually, I think it's something upstream of the new part and also that the old part was also good. In '99 Ford was good at having the ignition switch activate a relay that activated another relay (each with a separate fuse) that, in turn, activated the starter solenoid.

Remember that fuses can look good and still be bad. It's always best to check with a meter.

I found the problem, I went over to help this morning and he didn't have the relay mounted to the firewall. There was no ground getting to the relay then. We bolted it back up and the truck fired right up.

He had the relay and a bracket below it unfastened to access the low side ac port.

Thanks all for you help.

Yup. That would do it!
Glad you tracked it down.
