power goes from battery to foot pedal, then to shifter, then to motors. I'd check the shifter switch and make sure that its connected securely, if it is then disconnect one of the rear motors and try again, then reconnect and then disconnect the other rear motor and try again. If the problem goes away with one of the rear motors disconnected then that motor was your problem
replace horn relay and horn fuse. horn relay is located in the fuse box inside your hood. horn fuse is located in your kick panel, which is beside the foot pedals inside your car
check the red and white wires at the foot pedal and make sure that they are showing 12 volts, also check the shifter and make sure that the connectors on the back are connected, you can also try jumpering wires from the battery directly to the motors just to make sure that the motors are good
Be real sure that the right battery cables are on the correct posts. You will have bigger problems if they are hooked up wrong. Sometimes people buy a battery and they are not made the same; the posts are reversed but the battery size is the same rectangle shape.
If the battery cables are found to be on the wrong posts, remove one cable from the battery and just have the vehicle towed in. But if the battery cables are correct, red plastic on the plus+ sign and the black cable on the -negative sign, then something else is wrong.
If the lights work, the horn works, etc. then you have partial power. If this is a Ford Brand, Lincoln, Mercury, etc. then there are interlock switches which prevent starting. On these vehicles there are switches under the dash at the top of the brake pedal lever that complete the starting circuit.
On these brands it is common for a foot to hit and break or dislodge the interlock switches so the car will not start. Someone needs to look under the dash for this condition at the top of the brake pedal lever. It is also possible that the gearshift mechanism is slightly ajar and another interlock is not allowing power to the starter.
The way these products are designed is that a foot must be sensed to be on the brake pedal while the gearshift is sensed to be in Park or Neutral or the vehicle will not turn over at all.
When you buy a battery it needs to be fully charged particularily on all Ford made products. Sometimes the antitheft system will not connect the battery to the starter if the battery voltage is low. This happens automatically.
If you replaced the battery because of a "no start" condition, then any of the above problems may have been the real cause that still needs to be fixed.
1. No power to the pedals. Check battery or external power supply
2. Input device (guitar , etc.) is not working properly
3. Bad connector cables , or cables not plugged in all the way.
4. Individual levels on pedals turned down all the way.
5 Bad / non working pedals
Sometimes if the battery is not charged up and it sits for a few months then it is difficult to charge the battery. I learned this the hard way by keeping it out all winter without charging up. I called the repair tech's at this website http://www.shopjandl.com/kids---baby-ride-on-toys-little-tikes.html they told me to charge the battery up for 18 hrs at a time, especially if it sat more than 3 weeks. If the battery is good it may be the foot pedal in this link http://www.shopjandl.com/mepu0001.html
This sounds like a weak battery. The lights, horn, etc., are all very small loads. The starter is the hardest item for your battery to push. You can take the battery to an auto parts store and they can perform a "load check". If it shows weak, then let them put the battery in for you. The reason it is harder to start in the morning is, it is the longest time since the battery has been charged, and it is usually cooler in the morning. Batteries hate the cold.
