02 Explorer Died and won't start...Security System?

For how long did you unhook the battery? Not sure but I think it take awhile for the computer to reset, bout an hour I believe.

If the vehicle was hit by another in the parking lot, I think that might have tripped your fuel pump switch. You may need to reset it. wth

Why not start simple with the simple things.....

Have spark ???????

Have fuel @ fuel rail ??????

Pats lite flashing fast while cracking ????????

Let us know and we 'll go from there

1. Fuel pump has a safety cut out that can be reset. Try this first.... usually down under carpet on passenger side... not sure where the 2000 is.

1. Next, check all electrical circuits one at a time. Check all lights, check radio, windows etc. Ford have habit of doubling up fuses. One fuse that (for instance) takes out the ignition system MAY be in parallel with a turn light, wiper or radio. This happened on my 94 when tranny solenoid blew fuse, paralleled with engine computer and radio. Symptoms EXACTLY same as yours.

Try these two first.

Any ideas?

I find it odd that it was running at the time the problem started. The vehicle has never stalled or died on me before. What could quit and make the whole thing drop dead like that?

Thanks Jena
