Won't crank/turn-over intermittently our 2007 Entourage will not start or even attampt to start- crank. thought it to be either the starter or ignition switch. just thought of another variable - the alarm immobilizer. i've seen a few posts w/ the same trouble, but no fix action mentioned. i am still trying to isolate the trouble, hopefully this weekend some success - and will look into the ''pedal'' fuse as an alternative...

look at the junction between the engine and the gearbox/ transmission, it may be fitted low down. It has to be there in order to drive the flywheel to start the engine
I hope you have a good back.You can get on your knees and look under the dash and steering column.
Find the gas and brake peddle. Follow up from the bottom of the brake peddle, Look at the back side. The brake peddle bracket depresses a switch( brake lamp switch). it is very simple to remove. As usual with all work...disconnect the negative battery cable. unplug the brake switch. remove the retaining nut (if it has one) and unscrew the switch from the bracket behind the brake peddle bracket. Take note how far it is sticking out for the reinstallation. Replacing it is just as easy
Does it crank, yet not start? Or does it not even crank? If it cranks and doesn't start, you could have a leaky fuel injector. Pull the plugs when this happens, and check them for fuel saturation.
If it doesn't even crank, it could be an intermittent starter.
no click? sounds like a faulty starter solenoid or loose connection. clean and retighten battery cables and connections to that solenoid. If that doesn't work, you may need to remove starter and have it tested.
When you say it won't start, do you mean it cranks but won't fire, or it just won't crank? If it just won't crank, you could be having an issue with the starter relay. The often become intermittent before failure. Many owners do not know there is a starter relay because it was added as a recall item i order to protect the iginition switch from burnout. The starter relay is located in the very front of the engine compartment, just to the left of the battery, on the back side of the radiator crossmember.
I believe that there is an electronic relay between the ignition switch and the solenoid on the starter that is causing your intermittent starting problem.
