- 1999 explorer xlt
Hey all brand new here 
I have a 99 explorer that i just bought. 4 door. 4x4, Red, New tires brakes, exhuast, stickered till next year for $400. Previous owner just said it clicks so i bought it thinking it was just a starter.
Now that bad when i turn the key it just clicks..
Got a new starter yesterday and put that in. still the same click. Went online to think about what it is. Changed all the battery cables and still the same thing.
When I turn the key the theft light flashs on and off. and when i try to crank it its like the motor is seized and the starter cant turn it.. everything inside turns off like a power serge.. if that makes sence??
I am usually good with cars and fords. Had a bunch of them and I have a lowered ranger on 17s for my dd but excited to get my first explorer.
Any ideas on what i could do next or any suggestions would help. I also have a 99 mountaineer complete. with the 5.0, trans, transfer case, rear end, harness, gem mod, computer etc. Complete vehicle which my leather interior came from but im holding out on the 5.0 swap because the 4.0 might be good and im afraid of that pats system lol.
Sorry for the long post...
thank you
