20002 Ford Explorer - car will not start/turn over. just get clicking sound. battery good.

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to Ford Explorer.

Leave the battery in the car and get it on a charger overnight. It sounds like the battery is low and there isn't enough current amps to power everything with the starter as well. If that doesn't work, you need a good auto-electrician to put it on a pro quality scan tool computer..

Try a different battery, if still not turning over, check the starter, but before you do anything direct power the starter

If you've checked everything else, and it's all fine, then my only suggestion would be to take it in. Possible fuel pump problem maybe? Not sure if that would cause a clicking sound or not.

it is the solenoid, and sounds like its working. check the starter

sounds like the starter, if the battery is good, have someone tap on the starter while the ignition is turned. You can pull the starter off and a auto parts store can check it out. Hope This Helped Tim

Dead battery
Clicking is the starter solenoid or relays

Iam asumming the engine won't move or turn over at all!

check your battery for coroted terminals sounds like a low battery voltage fords make a bussing sound when battery is not charged they also have terminal coroting problems clean them good and aply some greace on them before putting them back on

I would say battery or connections on the battery.

Problly bad connection to the battery check cables if so try to clean battery post.

Sounds like a connection problem/error. When you replaced the starter solenoid, do you remember how many wires you disconnected and reconnected?

Was there any indication ( sparks, etc) of accidentally causing a short when you replaced the solenoid?

Your initial problem of no start but hearing the click sound is almost a sure fire indication that the starter is NG. If the solenoid clicks, that means that it is applying 12 volts to the starter.

hope this helps Good luck Loringh
