wont start

[jlewis13]

When I go to start my explorer I have full power to everything but when I go to turn the key over I hear one loud click coming from what seems to be the starter and then nothing, it won't start.
Sometimes while turning it over the door locks and unlocks. I know the battery is fine, I tried jumping it but it would not start. Then other times it starts fine, this only happens every once in a while, has been happening off and on for about six months. Then out of nowhere it will just start back up.
Any suggestions or advice?!
Thanks!

Sounds like a starter solenoid issue, I believe on the 94 and older the solenoid is seperate however 95 and newer the solenoid is part of the starter.

so to see if thats the problem ill have to dish out 250 on a starter yay

I believe you can get an aftermarket one for around a 130 bucks with the lifetime warranty. There are definitely some parts that should be replaced OEM but the starter isn't one of them.
