How to remove starter on ford 150?

TESTING

Voltage Drop Test

The battery must be in good condition and fully charged prior to performing this test.

1. Disable the ignition system. Verify that the vehicle will not start.
2. Connect a voltmeter between the positive terminal of the battery and the starter B+ circuit.
3. Turn the ignition key to the START position and note the voltage on the meter.
4. If voltage reads 0.5 volts or more, there is high resistance in the starter cables or the cable ground, repair as necessary. If the voltage reading is ok proceed to the next step.
5. Connect a voltmeter between the positive terminal of the battery and the starter M circuit.
6. Turn the ignition key to the START position and note the voltage on the meter.
7. If voltage reads 0.5 volts or more, there is high resistance in the starter. Repair or replace the starter as necessary.

Many automotive parts stores have starter bench testers available for use by customers. A starter bench test is the most definitive way to determine the condition of your starter.
