1997 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer

I have a 97 Eddie Bauer. Truck ran great all day. I tried to start it this evening and there is no power except weak theft light on dash. And a clicking noise coming from the dash and speakers. Checked battery connections, everything is fine.

If last fix did not help. Look up parasitic drains on battery.

HI..
If you check the connection of the battery .
if you hear a cliking noise. and lights inside weak.
Is mean the battery is descharged or not good.
Try giving jumpstart cables. or with other battery.
Really I guess is a battery problem.
If the vehicle start. check if the Alternator is Charging.

I hope this could be a good point to start your diagnostic.

I hope work for you.

2002 ford explorer eddie bauer crank but won't start up.

Hello
The engine and transmission in this cars drive train are fully electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM (Power Train Control Module). Whenever a problem like this occurs the computer stores a record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions to this, like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature sensor and MAF sensor for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory, to read these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL A TRAINED TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPEDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM

My 97 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer Edition V8 engine is shaking, running rough and low idling. What could be the problem?

Seems like there might be a vacume leak, mass air flow sensor dirty or bad ignation coil/s. Yeh one thing very important check the fuel pressure.

I have a 2003 Eddie Bauer edition of the Explorer. It ran fine until the battery dies from the back hatch being left open. We replaced the battery and it ran fine for a while again then the battery died....

Sounds like the alternator is shot. The alternator charges the battery when you re driving and also gives power to the engine and accessories. If this dies the car will run on battery power until it dies.
