2007 Mercury Grand Marquis not starting?
2007 Mercury Grand Marquis. Battery good, has been tested. Without warning, the car will act as if the battery is dead, clicking on start up. Requires a strong jump, doesn't fire right up. Once running, will start the next try. ABS and seatbelt lights have flashed or stayed on during these periods. Dash did not work once. has occured 3 times, required jumping twice. Both times jump was required, the car ran fine just before and after the problem occurred. Have cleaned battery terminals, no corrosion.
Battery is less than a year old. I've had plenty of dead cells and know what that is like. I do not have the readings but Sears did a full test on the battery. This is something else in the electrical system. I am hoping Its just a short or wires or connections. I have warranty on practically everything but the powertrain control module. I am taking it in Monday and just needed some suggestions on the cause. please stop answering battery. if you know of something other than the battery that is a possible cause, I would appreciate your answer. thanks.
