2004 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer 5.4 went completely dead while driving

Hey Guys,

I usually just read threads.. but this is my first time sending one..

I have a 2004 ford expedition Eddie Bauer 5.4 with 125,000. Recently I was in mid-drive at 30mph… it was extremely hot night… my ac was on at full fan power (front and back).. and the truck went completely dead while driving… it had no crank…. no power.. no lights, no noises.. no anything…. just dead.. as if the car was parked in the front of my house..

I tried to jump with another car and cables.... still dead.. a few months back a had the battery and cables all replaced.. I also had a remote starter removed that was drawing power.. The truck has been solid since the battery was changed.. its starts up with no problem even if it sat for three weeks.. I feel like the problem is a master fuse or something.. I would appreciate any input..


Thanks,
Frank

get yourself a decent multi-meter and start checking voltages Start at the battery and then remove the right side kick panel and see if you have voltage going to the fuse box, there is a connector or the left side of the fuse box. Should be a Red cable under a cover which cones from the battery thru the firewall and connect to the fuse box. Its a tight area and its best to have a flashlight handy

Post those voltage readings

The first thing to find is where the loss of power is located. While you are searching for it i would also check the voltage drop on each connection since you are in NY and have to deal with salty roads.

Check you ground cables (neg terminal) from the battery to the frame and chassis
