I have a 1996 F250 powerstroke that wont start. All of a sudden it just woulden't turn over. I turn the key and I can hear the GPR click on and when the wait to start light goes off I turn the key and it makes a loud click and that is it. anyone have any ideas? I have just changed out the GPR just to check but no luck
Please help
thanks

gschellens- I think you have a bad starter. Take a hammer and lightly tap the starter on the body when attempting to crank. Do not hit the solenoid, that'll make sparks. If it starts to crank you know your starters bad. If it still doesn't work your going to have to check for voltage at the starter on both the large post and small wire to the solenoid. You should have a constant 12v at the large post and 12v one the small one when the key is in the start position.
