What is wrong with my 2000 ford expedition?

My 2000 ford expedition won't start. The engine doesn't crank. I tried jump starting the car and it wouldn't work. I took the starter to get it tested and they said it worked fine. I changed the solenoid and it still wouldn't start. What might be wrong in my car.What is wrong with my 2000 ford expedition?It could be many things.



You mentioned a solenoid. What happens if you jump the solenoid, ie: power the solenoid directly from the battery. Your solenoid should have 2 big terminals and at least 1 small one. You can jump from the big terminal that the battery + cable is hooked to and the small terminal. If there's 2, then use the small terminal on the side the battery connects to.



Unless your Ford is radically different from my ol' '74 Pinto... If in doubt, get someone to look at the solenoid and ask them how to connect a bump switch.



The way things usually work is the key works a switch that will then route power to the solenoid. All a solenoid is is an electrically operated switch, or relay. If there's no power to the solenoid from the switch, you won't crank.



The switch should also power on your engine's computer and ignition and all that modern stuff. If the ECU doesn't get power, I doubt the engine would start, but it should crank.What is wrong with my 2000 ford expedition?
Does it even click when you try to jump it? Do the lights come on? Is there oil in it? With a question like that you make it sound like you didnt have oil in it and it siezed up on you. If you know youve kept oil in it then you have a bad connection somewhere. Im not sure if that model would have an inline fuse but those can burn up also and make your starter not turn at all. Or any fuse for that matter. Hope this helps you.What is wrong with my 2000 ford expedition?If the engine is cranking over the battery is not the problem. It could be either the fuel pump, and/or alternator.What is wrong with my 2000 ford expedition?
well man i feel for you cause i have had the same thing happen to my 93 lincoln town car

but i would not trust a starter test i went to have mine tested to and it still turn out that it was the starter, i would say its the starter get under the truck and have a hammer in your hand find the starter (usually on the passenger side) and hit the starter a few times while having somebody else try to start it if it turns its the starter and if not the starter could still be seized and you would need to replace it.What is wrong with my 2000 ford expedition?are the battery terminals clean and tight? how,s the battery? maybe it has a dead cell.
