It may just be a loose or dirty connection...
I've never opened it up.
I hook it up and if it doesn't work I kick it.
If it doesn't work after kicking I use a different one.

Take a side panel off & take a couple of pictures. Post 'em here and maybe the nerd squad will spot something. I doubt it though..
Mine has an overheat safety thing on it.
Last night when I first hit the starter on the Ranger, the solenoid got stuck on & pegged the meter on the booster. I could hear the buzzing. I got to it just in time to see the pegged needle drop to zero as that protection thingy shut it off.
It's probably a bimetallic strip in there somewhere.
If your dinosaurus rex has that, the contacts could be corroded.
Or it could just be corroded contacts somewhere else inside.

I'm thinking of busting the ignition out of that old dually I tried to pawn off on you and driving it to my cousins scrap yard.
He can probably get a new title for it...
or just part it out...
or just crush it.
I hate to see it go to waste but I'm tired of moving the SOB!
It's a 6.9L spreader engine...
prolly last you the rest of your life with the proper amount of care and redneckery.
Meanwhile...
I've had to hard-reboot this POS computer twice just while driveling in this thread.
I'm getting ready to drop-kick this SOB to Toronto so @rigjockey can boot it one last time...
with the steel toes!
Say hey to the Samsung...
in HELL!
You miserable mother....
Later...

That link is pretty much useless but it determined the year.

Both of my Fords start with 1FD and they were complete.
I think...
Incomplete means it ain't got no bed on it, right?
My Ranger is incomplete in my opinion because they forgot to put A/C and cruise control on it.
The F-150 is incomplete because they forgot the clutch and they put the shifter on the steering column like a bunch of retards.

Got that right. The money flowing from the YouTube videos of this little carnival would let me quit my day job, an' drink beer all day.

My two wheeler's primary assignment is adding portability to the 55 gallon plastic barrel I use as a trash can in the shop.
When it's not serving that purpose, it serves as a coat hanger.
It's got some pretty good wheels and bearings on it though. I hit 80 mph towing it as a trailer with a motorcycle once.. in my younger, crazier years, with a cooler full of ice and beer strapped to it.

younger as in yesterday?
I don't expect you to do it but it's pretty simple to isolate the problem. First see if the fan stops. That would kill it right there since the power runs through it first. Then put a volt meter on the Rectifier. It's call a bridge rectifier and converts AC to DC. See if the DC drops out. That would be my guess what's wrong with it. You just have to keep putting a meter on it until you see it drop out then work your way back till you see the problem. If you have a trade school that does electronics I would bet they would fix it as a class project.
