On a 1997 ford f150 where is the fuse located for starter?

The 1997 Ford F-150 doesn't have a dedicated fuse specifically for the starter motor. The starter's power is controlled by the ignition switch and a heavy-duty wire, not a fuse in the traditional sense. Problems with the starter usually stem from the starter motor itself, the ignition switch, the neutral safety switch (which prevents starting unless the transmission is in park or neutral), or related wiring issues.

If you're having starting problems, you should first check:

* Battery cables and connections: Ensure they're clean, tight, and corrosion-free.

* Battery voltage: A weak battery can prevent the starter from engaging.

* Ignition switch: A faulty ignition switch can prevent power from reaching the starter.

* Neutral safety switch: A malfunctioning neutral safety switch will stop the starter from operating.

* Starter motor itself: It could be failing internally.

A mechanic or a good auto parts store can help you diagnose the problem if you can't identify the cause. Simply looking for a "starter fuse" will be fruitless in this truck model.
