Sounds like this will be one of the following:

Seized starter motor
Seized engine
Flat battery.


If the car is manual transmission, put it in gear and see if you can bump start it.

SOURCE: rear heater making a clicking noise

You are not going to be happy. There is a servo motor that moves the door. The clicking noise is the little plastic gear stripped. Yes....plastic. And I belive that servo motor is expensive, especially for a plastic gear.

SOURCE: 1998 ford expedition wont start. theft like is

If you are reseting a factory alarm...lock and unlock the drivers door with the key. If you don't know the code look under the dash driver side in left corner there should be a black cover with a sticker with a code on it 6 numbers that is the factory code.

SOURCE: 98 ford expedition xlt,when i turn key switch on,

The Solenoid Switch that controls the starter is bad. If you can get someone to help you. Have them turn the key while you listen under the hood for where ehe clicking is comming from. 2 different Solenoids were used on this model one built on the starter the other mounted on the finder well near the battery. Repair is simple if replacing the Solenoid mounted on the finder well. If it is the starter mounted unit the starter will have to be removed. Most auto parts stores will allow you to use the Chiltons manuel in the their store to lookup removal instructions.Auto Zone, Advanced Auot parts PEP BOYS O'Reillys. All do this as a free service.
Hope this helps

1998 Ford Expedition won't start. Clicking sound when key is turned. Replaced solenoid twice, did not solve the problem

have you checked the battery and alternator to make sure the battery is charged? and the alternator is charging? the clicking usually comes from a dead battery not being able to turn over the motor.

Wont start

is the earth cable giving a good engine and body contact.does your starter have two terminals and if so are they the right way around?is the battery any good?Is the engine able to be turned over by hand Make sure you have agood 12v supply to the starter solenoid when cranking the engine An engine test probe/light would be of a lot of use for you to do that test
