Zetec Starting Issues? - castone - 07-23-2009
So....
After letting my 2000 zetec ZX3 sit for a couple months it doesn't start.
I plugged in the new battery then turned the key and all the lights, bells, fuel pump, etc... work but no noise what so ever from the starter.
So I know It's getting power but I think the starter has seized from sitting so long.
anyone have any similar problems and if so what were they
Thanks in advance!
If this turns out not to be an easy fix, anyone want a focus parts car for $600 :P

yeah...i'm always told that hitting the starter does something. Unfortunately for me, the 3 starter jobs I've had to do in my life never started after hitting with a hammer, always had to replace the starter motor. The starter is a PITA job on the focus zetec. just had to do it for the guy that bought my car.
