Starting Problems
I have a 5.4L 2003 EB Expedition. I got it last Oct and so far have 8600 miles on it. Within the past month or two, it has randomly had trouble starting up. The engine cranks but the engine does not kick on or hesitates, as though it is a low battery. Sometimes when cranking, the "CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM" shows up on the message center. I have taken it to my dealer and they have checked it multiple times and have not been able to find anything wrong with it. Seems to usually happen when its cold and or wet. Is anyone having the same problem or can anyone give me some ideas? Thanks in advance.

On my 93' MarkVIII with the message center It would say "Check Charging System" when the voltage goes below 10.5 volts, i've had some alt. prolbems before and seen that one a couple of times 
When I seen that it meant I could not re-start, and had about 15Min of time before it would die
Mabye a bad ground, somewhere
good thing it's under warranty, just keep taking it back until they get it right
