With an ex. solenoid (All old rangers) a volt meter and a screwdriver (dad's favorite), you can test a battery and starter in less than a minute.

I know ford did a lot of external solenoids. I have no idea whether Billays ranger has an external solenoid or not. I’m not going to look it up because I’m not invested enough to do it. He can do that and change it if he’s so inclined.
All that being said, I have no butt****ing clue what you’re trying to puke out on my screen.
Well whatever the fuck it is I've been able to start it up the 7 times I've tried and I really do think the way its parked helps but I have no fucking clue. Atleast now hopefully I'll be able to drive it to the shop instead of getting it towed. Small victories. [Reply]
I used to have a 1998 Dodge Caravan that must have had the fuel pump way in the back of the tank, because if it had less than 1/8 of a tank and I parked it downhill, it would not start. But it didn't click, it would just crank and crank but never fire. [Reply]

his truck goes "click" if it was a neutral switch (LOL) or no fuel it wouldn't click..
FYI a car parked on an angle should start and then die, then crank, no start.
I don't want to explain, just accept it's the truth

If it's just a single click, I'll bet it's the bendix in the starter getting jammed up. A dead battery will cause a rapid, repeated clicking in the solenoid. [Reply]

Ya it's a single clicky or was that bitch is working for now [Reply]
Rad? Not really. But damn useful, versatile vehicles. I had 6 of them over the years, a 1990 Grand Caravan, a 1992 Plymouth Voyager, a 1992 Caravan cargo van, a 1994 Grand Caravan, the aforementioned 1998 Grand Caravan, and a 2003 Grand Caravan. [Reply]

Which one would you drive to the all male strip club without a second thought? [Reply]
