Welcome back to my channel, V Nation! It’s me Vegdetti, and today we’re going to talk about replacing the starter in a 2007 Ford F-150 XLT 5.4 liter.
The customer was experiencing issues with the truck not starting and hearing clicking sounds, so I had to replace the starter.
To begin, you’ll need to remove the battery’s negative terminal to avoid any accidental grounding while working with the positive terminal. There are three wires to remove, two 13s and one eight millimeter. Then, there are three 13 millimeter bolts on the starter itself, with one tricky bolt in the top side.
When removing the starter, the trick is to loosen the very bottom bolt slightly, then remove the second bolt in the upper side, followed by the one behind it. Once those are loosened, find and loosen the last bolt using an extension.
Putting the starter back in is the opposite process. Secure the bottom part first, then the second bolt, and finally the upper bolt. Test for tightness and then tighten the rest of the bolts before connecting the wiring.
I hope this guide helps you with your starter replacement. Thank you for tuning in, and remember to like, share, and subscribe. See you next time!
