Pulled starter from another Windstar(2001) and it cranked that engine,than took it out and put it in the other Windstar(1996) and it just clicks just like the one i took out in the first place due to same problem....So if it worked in one it should in the other but it is just clicking and not engaging.Does anybody have a idea what is wrong?
Bad engine ground, bad supply cable (check under the terminal crimps), Defective battery, worn or stuck starter brushes.
Correct diagnosis is much easier with a complete understanding of the circuit and operation and an analogue voltmeter.
If your starter clicks it the current is going thru to the solonoid check your earthing also see if you have power on the starter motor.

the starter should be replaced. The solenoid is kikcing the pinion out but there is no contact being made to turn the starter motor. I have the exact same truck and before i changed the starter used the old starter tap trick. Tap the starter casing with a hammer and it should start turning again. hope this was helpful for you. Good luck.
SOURCE: Engine will not turn over, makes a clicking or rapid clicking sound
you are correct it is the starter the clicking you hear is the bedix wheel which spins the flywhell to crank the engine. replace the starter and this will solve the problem
SOURCE: starter runs but won't engage flywheel
Hello, I would make sure that your car is not one of those half year cars becuase two differn't starters may be offered for the same year of car. Also, I would check and see if your battery has enough CCA's to power your system. The only other thing is to turn your crankshaft with a breaker bar to turn your flywheel to possibly get a fresh area of teeth on it. If none of this fails it's as simple as just replacing the flywheel. If you did a bench test on the starter and the bendix engaged that is good. Buying parts from an Auto parts store does not gurantee the part is good and that the bendix engages the full distance to turn the flywheel. I would try to find a mechanic who rebuilds starters to make sure that the bendix is engaging fully. I hope this helps you!
