Have a 2002 exployer 4.0 no crank and no start just died at red light want do anything have a new starter new battery

I would check timing belt for sure ,, that's how they normally fail , at start up . Chuck

check your battery cables and make sure they are clean and tight. Follow the positive (red) cable down to the starter and make sure its tight.

Possible starter failure if the engine doesn't crank. You can try tapping on the starter motor using a blunt object while turning the key to see if it starts. If it starts, suspect a defective starter motor. If it is a manual transmission, you can push start it in gear

Bar the engine over to make sure the engine spins over. If the engine is fine then move to the fuse-box. A blown fuse or defective starter relay could cause your "no start". Also check the battery cables that couple to the fuse-box. Then move on to the battery, cable connections, and the starter. Make sure that the battery passes a load test. You need either a load tester or a multimeter to confirm. A bad battery or a loose or corroded connection can allow the lights to turn on but would ark out is the engine was cranked. Let me know how you do with this information and let me know what else you need, good luck.

Could be the anti theft circuits

When you turn the key to start does the starter engage an spin the engine ? or nothing happens .
the lights and music come on but the motor will not start when I turn the key ??????? Will not start how ?
crank - no - start or no crank no start . ????????

the clicking noise was due to the bad battery. the starter solinoid was not getting enough power to turn it over. try this if possible, engine off at battery should be at least 12.6 volts. start the car and if alternator is ok, it should read 14.2 to 14.7. if not repair alternator. what happens, is the voltage regulator in alt. goes bad and will not supply enough current to battery. good-day !

did you check your battery charge, try a new one, check crank relay, check your starter, if cranking check your ignition system, check fuel , and maybe your immobilizer, go to proffesional tech

Before you go changing out the starter check for a burnt out fusible link going to the starter it will look like a wire but acts as a fuse and they burn in two just like a fuse. The symptoms you just describe are those of a burnt fusible link.

if the key turns lights on the dash. u can jumper the starter thru the starter relay in the fuse box under the hood. 4 wires, one hot all time jumper to starter wire thru relay wires at fuse box
