I have a 2002 excursion limited v10. I'm trying to figure out why it's not starting. It ran good yesterday morning, but when I went back out to go somewhere, it won't start. No cranking no nothing. Battery is good, cleaned terminals and checked cables and they look good. Starter is good and even swapped the ignition switch, but still nothing. And help?

When you say "no nothing" does that mean there are no dash lights at all when you turn on the key?
If so then that would indicate a fusible link is open or there is a bad cable connection somewhere.
If you do get dash lights but no action on the starter motor, that would indicate a bad starter relay. You can jump across the relay to check if it is bad.
Also, try putting the transmission in Neutral - or just jiggling the shifter while holding the key on START. The switch on the side of the tranny has been known to go, and cause "no crank" conditions.
