Post 99 Expedition Won't Start

99 Expedition won't start...keyless entry won't work...no headlights, no interior lights. When I turn the key, it won't start, but "clicks"...meaning all of the lights on the dashboard click on and off several times. I'm charging battery now to see if it's that simple. Any ideas?

I had a somewhat similar experience. It was the starter solenoid. It had to be replaced. Hope this helps.

Sounds like a bad battery. Try jumpstarting your truck and head to an auto parts store or Sears and have them run a test.

This was way to simple...tried to make it hard. Took the battery and had it tested - it was bad. Replaced it and started right up...though I do have some concern as to why the battery would go bad that quickly, but I guess sometimes they just do.

Thanks for the help.

Sometimes they just go bad. My recommendation is to go to NTB or Sears (I work at NTB ) and get a Diehard. Better warranty than the factory battery and easier to replace if it craps out.
