I replaced the starter on a 2000 windstar with 3.8L engine now car start?

Here are a few more things you might check in addition to what was already mentioned:

- Starter Relay: Check that the starter relay is working properly. It's located in the fuse box under the hood. If you hear a clicking sound from the relay but no starter rotation, the relay may need to be replaced.

- Ignition Switch: Check the ignition switch to ensure it's working correctly and providing power to the starter solenoid.

- Wiring: Inspect the starter motor wiring for any loose connections or damage that may be preventing power from reaching the starter.

-Ground Connections: Confirm that the ground connections between the starter housing, engine, and negative battery terminal are clean and tight.

-Neutral Safety Switch: Determine that the neutral safety switch (if automatic transmission) is functioning properly and allowing the starter to engage.
