[SEL] O.T. Ford 2000 Expedition want Start

[paulmaples at sbcglobal.net]

Hello Bob,

I just went out and put a battery charger on the Expedition and now 
everything lights up and the horn blows but when I try and start it, it 
sounds like a machine gun going off and it will not turn over. Maybe I need 
to leave the charger on longer.

Hey Paul,

There are what's called "fuseable links" built into the wiring harness which
are renowned to be susceptible to corrosion and separation.

Start following the heavy wires specially to and from the starter solenoid.

My wife drove our 2000 Expedition up in the driveway this afternoon after
picking up the kids, she went to put it in the garage a little while ago and
it will not do anything. Nothing lights up on the instrument panel, horn
will not blow, no overhead ceiling lights, no clicking, nothing. I raise the
hood and the hood light is burning brightly so there should at least be
enough current to light the interior overhead lights. Is there some kind of
safety switch or kill switch on these vehicles that may have it locked out?

Paul
