I have a 2000 Ford Ranger XLT Extended Cab. It had a 3.0L 6-cylinder and it's slower than shit. It's been a work truck since it's manufacture year, and has served me well for the past 6 months. Recently my starter died and I replaced it. No big deal. Worked fine after that, for about a week. I turned the key to start it and the starter would not stop turning the engine over until the starter burned out. I had a warranty for the starter so got a new one and installed it. I also replaced the ignition switch. Nothing. Not even a gas injector noise. The battery is good. The terminals are connected well. But, when I was installing the new starter I forgot to unplug the battery before I went under the truck, and when I put the large wire onto the starter and accidentally hit the chassis with the end of it, the starter wurred and sparked. I took it for proof it worked. Did I fuck up enough to kill something else or just the starter? Im not sure I can return something to advanced Auto parts twice. What do I do? Anything obviously wrong with my trucks wiring, or is it the starter?

do the lights on your dash still turn on?

Yes. The radio works, the lights come on, everything works. It just won't start.

hard to say, but it seems like you probably shorted out the second starter. You can ask for a full refund from advance auto and say it didn't fit your car. If they give you shit say you have the 4.0 if the starters are different. then buy another starter from somewhere else.

I bought one with a core charge. I then replaced the one that I got. I have had three starters. The 4.0 is different. I'll have the same reciept. I will try getting a new starter, because the worst that can happen is that they say no. Your advice is better than mine, thanks /o

make sure you unplug the battery this time, and drain any charge. good luck anon, also you might want to check out some ranger forums they might have better advice than /o/.
Also the shitposting and autism will be way lower and contained.
