I had my transmission rebuilt and when i drove home and then turned the engine off, it wouldn't start again. a neighbor came over and crawled under the car and said the starter wire had become loose...i called the transmission place and was told they did not remove the starter to rebuild the transmission.is this true? you don't have to remove the starter to get to the transmission?

There are no guarantees when it comes to a rebuilt transmission or anything. They usually have a warranty for the work all depending on the mileage afterwards. Is it over it? Most likely the gaskets need replacing and the bolts tightened again.

Hi!
Try to remove fusible links from the connection, clean with aerosol electronic contact cleaner(both sides of the connection) close the female side of the connecting terminal and reconnect.
Alternatively just spray connections with above mentioned cleaner, or replace links with alternative from another vehicle that uses heavy duty fuses with same amperage rating.
Visit your local car breaker for a variety vehicles to source a suitable fuse assembly or enquire at your local (non agent) spares outlet.

Phillip

Tighten you connections, on the battery, and on the starter. Make sure all ground connections are secure, if you find any loose tighten them.
The clicking sound means no power to starter, or too much resistance in circuit (loose connections, "torn" wires, corroded connections) Clicking sounds could also be if you connected the starter wrong, but if it ran once it should run again. So, check all the wiring, make sure nothing is loose.
Starter wiring is rather simple :
Battery to Starter "Bat." terminal on solenoid from there solenoid has a wire going to the starter itself, and the starter grounds through mounting bolts to the engine.
PS - If your battery nodes/connections are dirty and corroded clean them, give them a good scrubbing and then reconnect securely.

the top two wires dont matter a solenoid is just a switch when you send juice to the solenoid via the small wire it connects the two on the top
SOURCE: Starter issues with 98 Ford Windstar (3.8)
one problem that the 98 winstars ( 3,8L ) are prone to is the transmission range sensor. they are badly located and not well sealed. As a result corosion...
The starter solenoid wire ( red/ light blue ) runs throught the range sensor before reaching the ignition switch.
Try shifting back and forth between Park and L1 rapedly at least 5, 6 times and then try starting in Neutral.
If it starts the TRS is easy to replace and accesible.
( The TRS is also responsible for the transmission going into irradical kick down mode )
