1997 ranger, starter just clicks sometimes
I am buying another ranger which is a 1997 XLT 4wd with the 3.0 and automatic with just over 99 thousand original km. It needs tires and the guy said some times when he would go to start it it would just click, and you try it a few times and it starts great, and it started every time good for me, would i be right to assume that it would be just the solenoid acting up?? and i know its hard to say without seeing it, but let me know what u think.

Clean the power connections and the battery connections.
Not sure but if there is a separate solenoid make sure the mounting is grounded to bare metal.
Another thing that help the starter… run a separate ground wire from the negative battery terminal to one of the starter mounting bolts, clean the area where the lug will mount and use some Dielectric Grease.
The extra ground cable will help for all electrical components, increases/improves the negative path.

well i have had the truck for 4 days, and it has started just like new every time, and its been snowing the last few days so i haven't even looked at it yet, this was just something that the guy i bought it from told me that sometimes it just clicks a few times, so i am not real concerned about it but i will defiantly take a look at the batter connections and cables when its a bit nicer out.
