2001 Ford Explorer Sport wont start

Battery was low and only clicked when trying to start it. replaced the battery and now the engine wont turn over. the theft light does go out and the engine can be started by jumpering the starter relay but it wont get a signal from the ignition switch to the starter relay. the starter interrupt relay fuse is good and the relay was installed new because of this problem.

Even though I bought the vehicle new, there was an aftermarket security system installed. The system had a bad diode, so i removed the system and reconnected the factory wires.

2001 ford explorer sport wont charge

I'm not sure if you have all of the info you need to go forward with this.
The battery may be rated for 800 amps but could have less than 12 volts if the alternator is not charging it.
It could have a dead cell which would keep it from holding a charge.
You would need to check the charge of the battery with a volt meter, then see if the alternator is charging at 14 volts when the engine is running. The battery should be at least 12 volts with the engine off.
The problem could be in the wiring from the key switch or dash gauges back to the alternator.

My 93 ford explorer sport started to click then slow down and now it won't start up what could be the problem

sounds like the battery is dead. Try recharging the battery or try jump starting from another vehicle using jumper cables.

2001 Ford Expl Sport wont start, clicks real fast, dash instruments went crazy and clicks even when the car is turned off.

Sounds to me like it's a battery issue. Take your battery to Autozone, Checker, basically any auto parts store and have them do a test on it. More than likely a dome light or something simple like that was left on and it just drained the battery.

Won't start, starter will spin but will not engage fly wheel to crank up engine

Sounds like the starter drive is shot, best thing to do is replace starter with new or rebuild.
