2002 Explorer Eddie Bauer
I have a 2002 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer V8. The vehicle was working fine. 2 hours later got in vehicle, tried to start and no click, no crank, no nothing.
Tried to jump start still nothing, vehicle not even attempting to start completely silent when turning key over. All the lights, instrument panel everything electrical is working. Theft light stops blinking when key is on so everything seems to be checking out there. The only other issue is after trying to jump start pressed info and reset button to get a system check and came back as charging system error, fuel system error, engine system error, and a weird item that looked like this W----fuel error----ml. I am not sure if those errors are coming up because the engine is not running. Please help before I have to tow and pay $$$$ I don't have if it is an easy fix.
 






Might check wire going to starter. Do you have a voltmeter? If so, see if you have at least 12 volts going to starter. IF not trace back. Maybe the starter celenoid is not working properly. Make sure your getting voltage to that when key is turned on. IF you don't have one you can at least try to move the wires, might be just a bad connection.
 






I can suggest a few things, although I can't say whether they may give you the "no click" you say you have got. I agree with rookie above, but in the event of not being able to check for 12 volts with a meter, look for simple things, battery connection is tight (I have had a bad neg terminal connection that was enough to run interior crap but not under serious current draw from say...starting the engine) Also, I had remote start installed on my 02, the wire they ran to the coil pack was poorly installed, was eventually melted by the exhaust manifold and subsequent shorting and non-start. Not to say you have the same remote start wire, but check for anything laying on the exhaust manifold, I also had another wire that came out of the clip and did the same. If you can't find anything visual, you can always go with process of elimination. Try a different battery if available. Visually check connections... etc...I can't think of a fuse that would do it, but heck, It's worth it to check prior to tow I suppose.
