Electrical problem
2005 Ford Mustang 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 68.000 miles

I have replaced the battery but still the engine will not turn over. I seem to have power to everything. Can you tell me where the starter relay is located.
Thank you
Mike

Hey Myteemike,

How is it going? I founds this information on the starter relay in the underhood power distribution center and we have just changed a starter in the shop and made a video and guide so I will pass it along.

Please let us know happens so it will help others.

Best, Ken

What side of the starter relay does the positive wire go. There are also some other wires and I don't know what side of the relay they go on. I took these off years ago and don't remember how they go back on.

When mounted on fender well the side closest to battery there should be one large wire going to the starter. The other wires should go to battery positive and the red/ltblue wire will go on small post closest to battery so relay will activate to start car.

Hi there,

Check that the battery terminals are clean and tight, check that the engine will turn by hand, check main 12V at starter, if all ok, I would be getting the starter checked out,
