- '02 Explorer 4.6 XLT 4x4
Hi all,
Hope someone can help with my 2002 XLT not being able to start. This is the 4th Explorer I've had and I've never had this happen.
I Drove to work today with the wife and daughter because of snow.
Drop me off and they take off to friends to go sleigh riding.
Wife parks car at friend's house, goes inside, comes out and everyone piles into car.
Turn key and nothing. Pinging, windows, radio and lights work perfectly. Charge indicator shows normal level. No clicking when key is turned.
Started right up this morn...like usual.
Here's what I asked her to do and result:
Take out of Park and put back in. Nothing.
Jump to see if any difference. Nothing.
Close all doors and lock a try starting. Nothing
Check battery connections. Wiggle to see if loose. They're tight.
I'm thinking it could be that the cutoff for the alarm was somehow activated. This may be done via the key pad on the Driver door frame/pillar. Or perhaps a few taps to the solenoid...but I doubt my wife is able to locate.
Anyone know the codes or any other tests my wife can try?
