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?
It could have been that starter was hung-up after all the troubleshooting. But, not restarting after shutting it off is an electrical problem that requires in depth knowledge of both Ford chassis and manufacturer wiring for the starting circuit. The Ford supplied starting circuit and wiring is pretty much bullet proof, but the manufacture adds more relays and wiring for their disconnects, and may not be of the same quality. This may be why many Ford dealers do not work on MHs because of changes to the wiring systems.
