2005 Ford Sport Trac
For the past several months, sometimes, not always, when I would start my Sport Trac, it sounded like a bad CD, like it would start to crank, then skip, then go ahead and crank. I have had the starter replaced, so I know that's not the problem.

This morning, it did this skipping, but did not go any farther. Everything in the truck died, except I could hear a clicking under the dash on the driver's side and a motor sound inside the driver's door. I raised the hood and checked the battery. It was on tight. In just a few minutes, everything came back on and I was able to crank the truck. I noticed that the trip mileage indicator had reset to "0".

Has anyone ever had this problem? I hope it is not the computer!

Thanks for any help.
