thanks it was the switch at the gearbox £10.00 fix job done thanks again.

hello 1st thanks for the info on the starter motor IT was the duff batt I got with the car sorted now cheers!, Now new problem is that no reverse lights, new bulbs and the fuse checked all fine could it be the gearbox switch? everything else is working but these as we know its MOT fail . thanks .

Thank you I will have a go with that.

It's a petrol 2.0Ltr Zetec W reg 1st reg 20/07/2000, I have tried the starter back today checked supply cable it runs on the bench test NOT in the car tried to "jump" with my Tbird no joy and removed the Alternator lead no joy either! not sure if there is an immobilizer factory fitted or even a fuse to disable my Haynes manuals are very vague on this subject as always!

Hello new on this board yet have owned 3 or 4 Mondeo's in the past and also have a 65 Ford Tbird, now if any one can point me to solving this problem please! Car ran from picking up had work on rear callipers so sat for a few days moved on to driveway then Nothing! Batt recharged holding 13+v all earths cleaned up, no real fuse (Aux) layout plan but have checked them all, the starter solenoid clicks when turning the key but no crank at all! I have removed and tested starter which spins and solenoid throws, cleaned commutator etc. and tried another working starter motor and solenoid still the same result. will throw and spin when bridged off the car. the engine is not seized ive turned it over, any suggestions Thank you.
