What is your question?
it wont start (wont turn over) turn the key several times off on off on and it will finally start, or let it sit for a hr or so and it will start. i have tested what i thought was all the re-lays, starter,p/n safety switch, fuel pump pressure and relay, no engine codes, then i found out that their is another starter relay by the battery's negative post. can anyone confirm this

Will not *CRANK*... Strongly suspect failing starter motor... Idle truck in driveway to heat soak starter or until it will not crank engine.. Have helper HOLD key to the START position while you tap the starter with a hammer, IF starter responds AT ALL.. Replace starter!! .. Don't just guess at it and start buying parts like some would have you to do... Test it to prove what the problem actually is! .. Post test results for more info.
Just had that same problem with my excursion... Im almost 100percent sure u need to change out the solenoid right above the battery...15bucks on Amazon and 2mins repair time and u should be good...
that is exactly what i bought and am going to put in tonight after work, thanks i will let you know if it works and it was 17 bucks here at show low ford where i work so not to bad.
Cool... yes, let me know if it works...Good day
Yes Will Not Crank, and i have tested the starter and checked the park and neutral control switch. going to put the relay solenoid in this evening it was only 17 bucks
A *simple bypass* test will prove if that is the problem or not.. ALL you got to do is jumper the two big lugs, I figured you had already tried that!!!... What-ever.. (So...you work at a Ford dealership... WOW!) Got a service department there??
yes sir i do work at ford LOL. I have turned wrenches my whole life but i am in sales now as i make a very comfortable living selling them rather than fixing them. and yes i can jump across and get the starter to turn etc but doing that eliminates the volts/ohms from the fuse-able link and makes the truck hard start as the link also interrupts the fuel pump. this is kinda my first time using the internet to kinda see if their was other people out their that have the same issue I am kinda old school. AND YES WE DO HAVE A SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT 110 BUCK AN HR, I REALLY DO NOT FEEL LIKE PAYING IT SEEING HOW MY BUDY IS A MASTER TECH AND MASTER IN ELECTRICIYTY
