I have a 1999 5.4L Eddie Bauer expedition. The truck was running fine before, but I parked it down for a while and now it will not start. At first I thought it was just the battery even though the battery and the starter are very new because they are just a year old. I decided to jump start the car but to my greatest surprise, the car still will not start after jump. I called triple A and they came and test the battery and confirmed the battery is still good and now I am as clueless as to what is going on.

I have light such as radio, door chime and light but no crank. I left it for couple of days and I came back one day and try to start it again, and it crank just one time, so I decided to jump it more but again, it refuses to start and now even the light and the radio are no longer working either.

I am wondering if anyone has experience anything like this before. The truck won’t even crank at all. I have read several discussions on this forum as well as different answers but still I am just hoping that anyone on this forum might have good suggestions or have exactly experienced exactly the same problems and will be able to give me the direct approach or answer. I will like to narrow down the problem exactly before taking it to the shop where they will spend hours looking for the problem and the bill heavily for much to do about nothing.

From my reading so far, so people suggest that the problem could be ignition switch, starter, starter relay, starter solenoid, relay etc.

I used to have an auto start device with alarm system on the car before but the brain box of the device had been removed but possible that the wire harness for the brain is still attached to the truck electrical system.

I also bought a keyless remote control from the outside market that will not work. I have tried the instruction more than million times and still will not work. This is prior to car shutting down. The instruction says that I should turn or know exactly what I need to do. Any help will be greatly appreciated

Thanks much in advance and God bless.

I had to put an independent starter button under the dash straight to starter and solenoid.

I have a similar issue on my 99 Ford Expedition. New battery, Alternator and Starter. After you drive it for abit and shut it off it wont start back up. you have lights and radio and all accesories but it wont turn over at all.

Any suggestions ?

I read about an aftermarket pigtail that has tobe instailed in the wiring harness

I read about a leak in these model trucks in the windshild that cause water to get into the fuse box.

Some say its the relay switch, nutural switch, ingition etc.

Looks lik ethis is a pretty common problem but I cant get anyone to pinpoint a solution. Several mechanics are baffaled.

Sounds like ( if you have it ) it may be the V.A.T. system ...

Get in the truck , close the doors, try to crank... If the security light blinks ( should blink for bout 10 mins) than there is the problem ... Just a suggestion . good luck .

Sometimes after driving and engine is hot my 1997 ford explorer will not start after I turn it off. I have no ck engine light, not even when I turn the key to on position. We put a tester on the car and got no failures, if I disconnect a sensor the tester will indicate that this sensor has failed, but it still doesn't turn on the ck engine light. When scanning thru the the tester the scan indicates that we do not have a ck engine light. So it appears that the computer is not giving a ck engine light. Before putting money into the car what is the most likely problem. If it's the computer can I get it from a local parts store, and will it have to be programed, or is it possible that the original computer just needs to be reprogramed at a lesser cost.

May l know whether the brain box for my 1999 brand Ford Expedition XLT V.8 is available in your spare part inventory?

Brain Box data: PDE3 EEC- V MLO - 496H, YLIF - 12A850-DD

I hope that the above data will be useful in the processing of sorting out a matchable brain box for my vehicle.

Please furnish me with the cost price if available, and the mailing cost to Port-Harcourt in Nigeria, West Africa.

Thanks.

I have a 84 Ford Bronco doing the same thing, short city drives and it starts right back up, but drive it long enough to fully warm up and it wont start.

The voltage regulator is three days old.

I needed a jump to get it started at a gas station, its almost as if the alternator is charging it just short of enough juice to stsrt it up. But if its sits an hour or so it fires up no problem.

The alt was checked and its putting out proper voltage.

Sounds like a Ford bug that was never corrected.

Here is the solution that I had with my 1999 Expedition.

On the firewall, passenger side, under a plastic cover, is a solenoid that has two large cables connected to it.

This solenoid is the start "switch".

With a known good battery and a known good starter, short across the two heavy terminals on the solenoid mentioned above.

This connects the battery to the starter and is not dependent on any of the "Neutral" or "Start" circuit.

I replaced my solenoid (after replacing the starter) and all was well.
