2008 F150 4.6L Won't Start

Asked by Tcatero Sep 23, 2018 at 11:22 PM about the 2008 Ford F-150 STX 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

2008 F150 4.6L Won't Start. I parked my
2008 F150 and the next day it would not
start. I have checked all of the electrical
connections (I.e. Positive terminals,
grounds, battery and replaced starter and
starter relay) and all I get is a click in the
relay box. The dash lights come on
normally. No indication the anti-theft is
bad. I replaced the starter just in case, still
all I get is the starter relay to click when I
turn the key. Hoping some one has had the
same problem. Again I have checked the
basic stuff such as battery issues and
ground wires and power wires from the
battery and do not have any issues.
