I have a 2003 Expedition XLT that has recently had an issue starting.
About 2 weeks ago it would not like to start easy in the mornings and at other random times. When it died in the driveway I had the front and rear fans on 4 and tried to start it. Instead I got a loud buzzing noise coming from the fuse box. I tried to connect my code reader to it but it just said failed to connect. My instrument panel has power but the odometer reads - - - - - -. I had the battery tested and subsequently replaced it. After replacement the buzzing from the fuse box lasted about 10 seconds and once it stopped I could start it again. At that time the code reader was able to connect. The next morning it briefly did the buzzing thing but once I turned the fans off it stopped buzzing and I could start it. I have no problems with it until two days ago.
I went to start it, had the fans on 4 again, and instead of starting I just got the loud buzzing sound. The battery voltage read about 12.35 volts so I hooked a battery charger up to it. After two hours the battery is reading 12.87 volts at the terminals. The PCM fuses 32, 33, and 34 read about 6 volts. All the small fuses read about 12.6 volts and the applicable larger fuses passed a continuity test. Now I just get a short buzzing sound then it turns into a steady repetitive click. Still no odometer and code reader cannot connect.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
