I agree, almost everything about this points to a bad battery. And I really thought that would be the case but after testing it myself using my tester and the place I bought it from testing it good was well... I'm stuck. Even if that battery is bad, their tester said it's good so getting it...

I do have one of those and no it will not start with it. I have had no issues with my jump box on other vehicles in the past including the explorer but it will not start with it now. The only way I have gotten it started is with a jump start. But, not every try works. Sometimes I have to...

Mine is basically the same when I can get it started. If the cranking voltage drops below the 9v mark, it won't start.

At this point I've taken the battery out so many times I can do it in my sleep. I have definitely made sure everything there was tight. Definitely not normal for the battery to drop that far down. Something is pulling it down when cranking. I do notice it obviously as it won't start...

Yes it was load tested. I hope they can find something but I have to wait until next week.

Not easy to check those cables. No dtc codes now or ever during any of this.

Quick follow up. Still will not start consistently. Cranks very slowly then eventually just stops most of the time. Seems like it is the battery but I have tested it using my battery tester as well as taken it to where I bought it 3 months ago. Both show good. My jump box will not get it...

Yay. I just took the battery to where I got it and it tested good there. Starter, alternator, who knows but now it has to sit here until the 19th when I can get it to Ford.

Yes I replaced it with an AGM matching the factory specs.

I have nothing connected to the vehicle (no lights, dashcam, no aftermarket stereo.) I replaced the battery myself and did reset the bms when I did it. After leaving it overnight, not on the charger, I don't see voltage below 12. Last night it was connected to my charger. This morning...

Spoke too soon. It was starting (slowly) before I had to leave and had steady voltage. Connected the battery to my charger for 5 hours or so and came back to another no start. This battery is either toast after 3 months and/or there is a parasitic draw somewhere. I can't win.

I've been tracking down a voltage issue for a while now on my 2020. I have other posts here on it. Battery died suddenly and without warning in July of this year. No worries, replace the battery. After that it was fine for about 1 week then I was getting occasional slow crank. Never not...

Sadly I thought I had this fixed...but it isn't 100%. I replaced the battery and reset the bms. Immediately after, it fired right up. Now, if it sits for a few hours or overnight, it struggles to start (it will start but is slow in doing so.) Still no smoke seen by me and the smell that was...

I didn't check there as I don't have a Costco membership. I was recommended to look at Walmart which I hadn't considered but they were the cheapest for me on one that I could get today. It was $179. AutoZone and Advance Auto were $260.

Maybe. I don't like dealerships either. I do fix and maintain all of my vehicles on my own unless it's warrant work. The explorer has only been to a dealer 3 times in the 2 years I have owned it, all for warranty work. If a dealership did whatever this is, it could have been before I bought it.

FADA? I bought this used 2 years ago. Certified pre-owned from Ford. Never been any codes or issues.

I got it out as is. It didn't seem like it would freely disconnect from the bottom of the glass so I propped it up.

The cut wires are old. No voltage to them. No idea what they may have been for. They are part of the alternator harness. Regardless, I've re heat shrinked them covering the ends and moved them away from any metal. Took the battery out (wtf Ford!?!) and will pick up a new one and call it a...

This is supposed to be the car that I DON'T have to mess with lol.

Upon further inspection... The wires do have heat shrink on them and a blob of something on the ends. Possibly not new but no idea what this would be or why it is like this. Makes sense to me though that if one of those are contacting metal and there is voltage there, that equals bad things...
