Several months back the battery in my 2001 Explorer Sport died. I used AAA road service for a jump-start and replaced the battery the next day. SInce then the stereo has not worked. No lights or anything. Come summer I also found my A/C did not work. I had a local mechanic check out the A/C last week. The system blows air but it is not cold. I was thinking that it needed a recharge.

The mechanic told me the compressor was not getting any power. When he checked further he discovered that both the A/C and steroe had no power at the fuse panel (inside) when checked at their appropriate fuses.

He has spent a couple of days troubleshooting but has yet to solve the issue.

Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions?

 

Ive seen them blow / melt a fuse link , an cause loss of power , have him look at the starter relay an check those

 

May have blown fuse in the power dist. box in engine compartment or just maybe bad ignition switch. I don't have schamatics to look at and help you out, but your machanic should. good luck

 

The fuse links at the starter have been checked an seem to be okay. The power dist. box may be a possibility. The local mechanic that is helping me with this, had to order a new book with more detailed wiring diagrams. When it comes in I am going to let him have the care for a day. If I leave him the car on a slow day, he has agreed not to charge me for the diagnostic time. (I spend enough money there).

 

He doesn't have a good Alldata or Mitchell auto manuals on the computer!!!! I dunna bout thes guy
