It does sound to me like you need to double check/override , battery, starter itself, possibly remove from vehicle and test, and also something to never overlook, the standard of all removable connections between the two, ie, the two main clamp terminals on battery, cleanliness of battery posts, and security of main thicker cable to starter motor and its nut.What other poster says about batteries which test 12v does not prove that the battery is in good cell condition and has enough amps/etc to actually crank the starter under load, is valid. Try a jump start, but even they often fail not because batteries/starters/alternators are at fault, but just because a huge percentage of jumper cables develop defective connections between the wires and the alligators.In fact, even many brand-new but cheapo jumper cables are useless, because they simply have too flimsy a connection from the bare wire ends, to the inside of the alligators.. all DC electricity likes rock solid circuit connections at every point, or it looks for alternative easier low-load paths, or just rolls over and goes back to sleep when you need it.

First, try to boot with another battery or a power pac... because even if your battery give you 12 volts..it could have died cells and you're not have enought amps..... Seond, if it's doing the same thing... check if there's not a shield ground cutted or bad on the starter or the motor that's do he ame thing... No amps... third,,if everything is ok,,it's surely the bendix

SOURCE: 1988 Ford E350 with 2 batteries won't start, just clicks

It has to have 2 batteries because it is a diesel engine. Diesels use compression to fire the combustion mixture instead of a spark plug as a gasoline engine does. It has glow plugs that heat the mixture up before starting to help promote this and it has probably twice the compression ratio,therefore it takes alot of amps to start it and that is why you have 2 batteries. No it still only has one solenoid for the starter but it has to use a gear reduction starter instead of a conventional one.

SOURCE: 93 ford bronco changed the starter and the battery

is the starter sub solenoid ok? jump directly across it, it is located on the inside of the fender, the positve battery cable goes to it and then down to the starter,also are you sure the engine turns free.

2013 FORD E350 5,4L ONLY CLICKS WHEN I START DON OT HAVE POWER TO THE STARTER FROM THE SWTCH BATTERY STARTER SWTCH AND SAFETY NEUTRAL SWICH GOOD WHAT NEXT

If it clicks, then it is getting power from the switch to the starter solenoiod. So if you know the battery is fully charged, then the problem is either one of the battery cables or connections, or the starter itself is defective.`.

94 ford e350 van wont turn over when I turn the key it just makes a buzz sound good battery checked cables

Sounds like either the starter or starter solenoid. With the key in the "On" position try using one side (either positive or negative) of a pair of jumper cables. Locate the starter solenoid and clip one lead to the battery side of the solenoid, and just quickly touch the other lead to the other side of the solenoid. If the starter engages, replace the solenoid. If not, carefully check the positive cable from the battery to the solenoid for cracks, exposed wire, corrosion and good, tight connection. Good luck.
