Hi all. Hope some of you can lend a hand.
Im currently in germany on a road trip with the family. The explorer#wont start. This has happened a few times over the past few weeks but a simple jump had done the trick. The problem seemingly began when i killed the battery by leaving the radio on one night. I jumped it and let it run for a while. It was ok for a few days and then it wouldnt start again. I attributed this to my wife leaving something plugged in. However this last two times, i am certain that nothing was left on.#
The car wouldnt start this time even with a jump. The lights are reasonably bright and mft boots up. When i attempt to start the car it wont crank at all. Instead the mft screen flashes on and off rapidly and i can hear a relay or sonething clicking very quickly. The lcd also reads hill decent errors and alarm errors.#
I am going to try to get a new battery tomorrow and try it. Any other advice?
I have a coupla theories but no meter to verify.
Thanks.
