problem with starter.
i have an 87 bronco ii with the 2.9v6. When i go to start it the starter solenoid just does one click, i bench tested it and the starter is good. I bought a new solenoid and its still doing it. There isn't any resistance going from the solenoid to the starter. I'm stumped. Any input?
Re: problem with starter.
may be a ground? battery good? what happens if you put a jumper cable from battery to starter side on solenoid (mag swt).

is the mating surface of the starter and the bolts clean. could be bad grounding

I've wire wheeled it to bare metal at all the ground points.

Re: problem with starter.
your motor isn't locked up is it. are you sure the starter is getting power. usually when you just get a click you have a bad ground or not enough power. what is the condition of the battery. if you have good power and ground i would try turning the motor over by hand to make sure nothing is bound up
