- 1996 Ford Explorer XLT
Good evening all,
I currently own a 1996 Ford Explorer XLT. I came across this forum while trying to find a fix to a starter problem. I've read a lot of threads still not quite finding what I needed...
My wife decided to drive the truck low on gas and managed to park it at our home. We had a cold front come in that night and the next morning tried to start up the truck. Lights and regular sounds came on normally till I tried to turn over the engine, the sound of multiple clicks. Tried a few times to turn it over to no avail. Added 2 gallons of gas, still nothing. Decided maybe to jump the truck, still nothing. Thinking it's the starter or starter relay. I have a video/audio of the sound it makes if it helps narrow the search to the problem.
I don't know if it's relevant but when we lock it from the key fob, the lock sound/honk is more faint than before.
Please let me know if it's a doable fix (no lift) and cost if I take it to the shop.
I look forward to contributing and helping, with limited knowledge, to the forum!
Best,
Kuya
