I got a Ford Explorer XLT 4.0L SOHC 3 months ago, It looks well maintained and have worked fine so far.
After parking for about 3 hours last week it refused to start not even cranking, jumpstarting from another car it starts after about one minute after connecting batteries in parallel.
My first action was to replace the battery but even with a new one, the problem persists, but when jumpstarted (pushing on the gas of the other car to get more than 13V at battery) it starts with no problem and once running doesn't stall anymore.
I've checked all the fuses and hit a bit the relays, I also followed the instructions of the post "2nd gen issues? Try this first!" (checked the 2 large wire bundle connectors on the firewall) without success...
Any Idea about the next steps? No money for a workshop now...
Thanks in advance!
