This problem started out intermittent, but has become more constant. When the key is turned on, all dash lights look good, dome light good, radio good, etc.. But when you run the key all the way forward to start the engine, there is no sound from the engine at all. After 20 or 30 minutes, the car will crank normally. This is happening usually when you stop for gas, then the car will not crank - we have to push the car to the side and wait for it to cool down. Seems to be heat related of course. Dealership tested - could not recreate the problem. The battery tested bad, so we replaced the battery with a new Ford factory battery which did not help the problem. Any ideas on this? We're taking it back to the dealership for another look, but they are saying on the phone that the alternator is the next likely item to replace - common sense seems to not support that conclusion though. I'm afraid of throwing a lot of $ at this problem.. Thanks for Help!
