- 2005 Sport Trac
2005 Sport trac. Will not start sometimes. No crank but everything else in the vehicle is fine. Replaced starter,Replaced 12V positive wire to starter. load tested battery. Also get strange symptons on the instrument cluster sometimes. The tach and speedometer lay down at zero and quiver, sometimes even after the engine is turned off. When the no-start thing occurrs, there is a repetative chattering sound coming from under the dash, even after the key is removed. Can go a week sometimes without any of these symptons.
When it wont start, jump starting from another running vehicle will make it start. (The battery is not dead). I'm thinking that the 13-14 volts gives the car something that the straight 12-13 volts wont.
Anyone have any ideas? I dont want to go to the dealer yet because I know they will charge big bucks for this.
