help expy wont start

[rdubs20]

Well my expy wont start this morning. I check the battery and it is good. It won't even turn over. all the lights on the dash are working and the radio and fans. All I get when I turn the key over is a ckick. What could this be?

it always helps to know which year, model and engine you have.

How did you check the battery?

haha sorry its a 2005 with the 5.4 engine. Yes the battery is good

How did you determine the battery is good?

How did you check the battery?

My question to you wasn't to ask if the battery was good BUT my question was how did you CHECK the battery???

 

[rdubs20]

I took it out and had the guys at autozone check it out. They said it was good, don't know if that means that much but I figured they wouldn't lie. They could have said it was bad and had me buy a new battery.

I'm thinking its the starter since it isn't even turning over.

 

[Bedrck47]

depends on how they tested it. there have been many post here on the forum where the parts stores say its good and yet the battery was bad.

How old is the battery?

Were you able to jump start the expy or did you try

 

[Bedrck47]

a few things I would check is to see if you are getting 12 volts to the starter.

Check the connections at the battery and starter both the hot wires and the ground wire

If you have a voltmeter, what is the battery voltage?

 

[rdubs20]

I don't have a voltmeter. The expy wont even take a jump. Not turning over at all. I'm having triple A tow it to my mechanic. I'll let you guys know what he finds out. thanks for the help
