Hi All,
I'm hoping you can help me diagnose a problem. Not sure if I have a bad battery or not but the car will start and I can drive it but when I get to my destination stop the motor then try to start again it's like the battery is dead. Very slow cranking (almost none) so I have to jump start the car to get it going again. So weird. Also my voltmeter is showing like 15v when running?
Any thoughts appreciated.
 
Either your starter solenoid or power and ground cables are in bad shape or lack good connections or your starter needs to be rebuilt.

If it's a Motorcraft starter, I would have it rebuilt versus replacing it with an off the shelf Chinesium unit.
