2016 Explorer cranks but will not start

I've posted this in other 'Crank, no start' threads but here it is again:

My 2016 had a similar problem, my Dealer's electrical Tech finally fixed it. Maybe this info will be of use to you too:

"Crank, no start: July 11, 2024 with 53,100 miles on the car and while driving locally the Explorer goes into 'limp' mode, then dies on the side of the road. Cranks over, sputters, won't start, gets towed to the Dealer, again.
After 9 days in the shop the Tech writes this success story:

NOTES - Verified customer's concern for vehicle stalls when driving with intermittent no start. Performed eec diag and retrieved codes P0339 for crank position sensor intermittent and P2101 throttle body actuator. Inspected the wiring for the throttle body and crank position sensor, no issues found. Monitored pids for throttle, it was working properly. Vehicle was still stalling under load. Verified wiring from the crank sensor to the pcm was good. Used scan tool to reset KAM and perform a misfire monitor relearn/crank position sensor relearn. Found that the PCM's software was out of date, performed PCM update. Test drove vehicle without any issues for 40 plus miles. Customer's concern is no longer present. Everything functions as designed.
Okay I’ll look into that, mine wasn’t turning off while driving only after leaving it for the night and I have to turn it on by removing fuel pump fuse and putting the fuse back so it won’t turn off

I realize the symptoms are not exactly the same and with these cars the solution could be many other things, I just threw this into the information pool.
While the vehicle was at the Dealer it started every time after it sat awhile. They drove it into the service bay and around the block many times but eventually it stopped and went into the 'crank, no start' mode. The Tech checked the fuel system and then was sure it had a loose/broken wire or connection, tracing wires took some time. The final solution was unexpected.

I wish you luck.

You ever find anything ?
I have the exact same issue. I never found a solution. But I suspect it is condensation or something? Happens when cold but also a little damp. That has been my experience. Same solution as above, pull fuse, attempt to start, put fuse back in, starts right up.
