So we had the mass air flow sensor replaced again with an after market one as ford doesn’t make the part anymore. The computer was replaced, we also replaced the batteries. Now it won’t start. Got it started after it wouldn’t turn over it just clicked. Finally started and it made a loud gear grinding sound, kind of like when you turn your key on but the car is already running? When the noise stopped the engine ran quiet. Turned it off but now it won’t start. It doesn’t even click. What could it be, were thinking the starter. Is that a reasonable conclusion?
Yes , I would think starter especially where you heard the gear grinding sound or I suppose an ignition switch might do that if stuck internally in the start position.
Make sure your battery connections are tight , a lot of people forget about the ground ( both ends )
Good luck
