Fords are notorious for a marginal battery cable causing all kinds of problems. Check the cables and make sure the are in NEW condition. If they are questionable at all replace them. Also check to make sure that the starting system is not shorted. I.E. battery cable melted against the exhaust. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
