check all connections make sure. all terminals are clean also get jumper cables an connect black cable one end to negative side of battery and the other end of the black jumper to a good solid ground on the chassie somewhere. checking ground connection
Sounds like the starter is bad take it out and take to a local parts house that checks them for free (they must be removed from vehicle). I state that but when you charge the battery you are sure battery is good? You may think the battery is charged but still not providing 12-13 volts. A cheap tester/ohm meter will reveal how many volts at positive and negative terminals.
Could you rephrase your info and add if the engine is cranking and will not start or if the engine does not make any sounds or what sounds it makes (if any).
Check your brake lights when pressing the brake pedal to see if they are lighting. One problem any Ford made vehicle can have is a switch on the brake pedal lever can be hit with the Drivers feet and it moves or breaks the part.
But this would not be the case if the engine turns when you put the key to the START position.
Another KEY problem in Ford made vehicles is the Inertia switch. This is a resettable safety switch for cutting off the fuelpump power.
It may be behind the front kickpanels or inside the trunk. This depends on the Year and model vehicle. It can create a mysterious no start condition because it cuts off power to the fuelpump.
Hi, to check the alternator, check the voltage with the engine running and the jumper cables removed. If the voltage is less than 14 VDC with the engine running, remove the alternator and have it tested at your local chain store.
follow the hot line from battery to starter also their is an in-line fuse on hot line thats prob. blown just replace it thay are only like 4.00 at parts store
BE SURE ALL ACCESSORIES ARE OFF AND PERFORM A PARASITIC DRAW TEST. NEGATIVE BATTERT TERMINAL REMOVED CONNECT A MULTIMETER IN LINE AND CHECK FOR SMALL AMPERAGE DRAW
you can try backing off the timing a few degrees it may be to far advanced or a new battery. flooding can mostly be solved by holding the throttle all the way open wile turning the motor over
If you're talking about the car battery, you can replace it yourself. If your radio has a theftlock, you might need the unlock code to turn it back on. As far as batteries go, you get what you pay for. So I would recommend Interstate. They are expensive, but WELL worth it.
