2-3 times a year my explorer won't turn over?

Question

2-3 times each year after driving our 2000 Ford Explorer and parking it, after coming back to it an hour later it won't even turn over. Then when you go back to it the next morning it turns over and starts beautufully. Several dealerships have tried to solve it w/their analyzers and can find nothing? The battery is fine and always has power the next AM after this happens. HELP!!!!???

Answer 1

I would look at Starter swelling. or a bad connection in the battery cables. An older starter may swell and the windings contact the armature seizing the starter. the next morning everything is cooled off....That's my best shot in the dark. Fancy schmancy analyzers won't find a problem that isn't there. They have to see this one happen. I took a Truck in that would backfire when started after 45-48 minutes the dealer did as I commanded and viola it was a poor design on the Valve covers that flooded the engine...Go figure but they had it in multiple times before I did their work for them

Answer 2

I had the same problem with my 1992 mustang. it would do the exact same thing. The problem with my car was the brain box. We changed the entire brain box and the problem was fixed. We later found out that the problem was the ignition fuse. The spark plugs would not fire becuase the fuses were out.

Answer 3

I bet your insurance premiun is high on that exploder, how many times a year do you actually turn it over, looks like they would total it out.

Answer 4

Starter solenoid is bad . facing the engine on the left side.

Answer 5

Try using cabureator and fuel injection fluid.

Answer 6
