Strange event this morning. I got into the explorer and no lights, no power whatsoever and it would not start or even crank. Nothing worked yet the battery was fully charged and the cables were clean and tight. Hooked up a known good battery charger but still no power. Roadside showed up and hooked up jumpers - and still no power so we moved the jumper cable connection to another ground and suddenly everything is fine again. I backed it out of the driveway and it stalled - dead again yet jumping it resolved everything.
A trip to the dealer showed no codes, no draw, proper charging system, good battery test, no obvious faults or loose wires and naturally everything works fine.
Oasis had nothing on this.
Yes I made sure that I tried both remotes - this is a 2016 explorer with push button start, 6 months old with under 4000 miles. The vehicle was fine last night at 9pm when I got home. It's almost as if there is a relay that disconnected the battery from the vehicle yet the radio keep alive memory was fine.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
John
