I am having a simular problem. I started out getting tire pressure light, brake light, and door adjar coming on when I was driving. It would stay on for a few min and go off. I wasnt getting any codes when it was coming on. Then I started having problems starting my 2007 Ford Expedition with 87,000. I would turn the key and my power seats would not move and I wouldnt get any lights. The only thing that would come on was the radio. When I turned the key I didnt hear anything. I can wait about 5 min and it will start. I have had it at the Ford dealer for about a month and they still dont know what the problem is. I have paid about 900 so far and the only thing they have done is change out the junction box and I still have the same problem. Please help!!

Sounds like a bad starter relay or starter or the connection at either of these locations could be bad.

SOURCE: car won't turn over

Neutral safety switch may be going bad or is out of adjustment. Switch is on the transmission under the shift linkage ear where shift cable attaches. Loosen it and put car in reverse (not running) turn switch so that reverse lights come on. semi-tighten switch and check that it starts in both park and neutral. If not you need to change the switch.

My 2003 range rover won't start radio come on lights work but the center moniter says code any ideas

No idea here to be honest i think you have two seperate problems here so firstly try entering the radio code as i think you have disconnected the battery ,now as for the non starting then look in the book that came with the vehicle and their should be a code for the key to reprogramme the immobilisor where you turn the key in the lock so many times to the left and right to release it and only these vehicles have this except some rovers which are now defunct as you no doubt know .

2003 ford expedition wont start and the anti theft light is clicking and flashing fast

Turn your key all the way back towards you in the battery only postion. Then press and hold the red alarm flashing button til you hear the beeping noise it makes. This will disable your alarm and your car will start.

Put in new starter in 2003 ford expodition and it still won't start what can my problem be won't even turn over?

Smart lock? do you have a picture of a red hand on instrument panel? With falcons quite common. Turn & hold key @ start posision, Hit dash upwards on left side of steering colum, If start = faulty smart lock module. I don't know if expodition has smart lock but probably does

2003 ford expedition won't start and theft light blinking

Hi

This typically indicates an issue with your VSM (Vehicle Security Module) which is located HIGH UP in the PASSENGER KICK PANEL... Or your key not being recognized by the VSM.

Try your spare key. Otherwise it's going to need a trip/tow to the dealer, as there is not a bypass that will allow the vehicle to start.

Thanks

My car will not start my lights, radio work its not the battery. I recently replaced the starter, the altenator, battery, fuel pump catalyic converter. when i turn the key there is no noise it won't...

Sounds to me like the starter or starter relay, OR did you check all the fuses? When the starter doesn't click or turn over the engine it is likely a problem with it or the power supply to it. Start with the easy thing. check the fuses, then the relay.
The P0300 is usually caused by something other than the spark plugs or coils. A fuel/oxygen sensor can cause this code. I would say that doesn't have anything to do with not starting.
Good luck.

Thanks for using FixYa.

1998 ford expedition 274,000 miles has been a gem. Just have 1 issue. within the last week when I try to start it the theft light comes on and it won't turn over at all. Any suggestions?

Your key may be worn to a point that the anti-theft doesn't recognize it as the original key. If you have another key try it. Either a good locksmith or the dealer should be able to provide you with a new key. Good luck and I hope that helps..
