I started my car this morning and I heard a weird noise. Turns out it was the fan behind the radiator turning.I turn off my car and the fan behind the radiator kept on rotating and the pulley system on the motor with the plastic bank kept on turning slowly. Kinda at interval. Then after about 2 minuets it stopped. I goto turn on the truck again and the batteries are dead and all I get is a clicking sound. Any ideas what it could be. Please I need help with this, any suggestion would greatly be appreciated. Thank you

The first thing you need is a new battery, Fords need at least 9 volts to operate the electronic modules, and more to start the truck, get a new battery, clean the cable ends and see if it starts, then if problems still exist, codes will be stored, and can be read.

In reply to your points statement, Most good shops have a scantool to read the codes, but most dont have the Ford tool, this can command modules to activate just about anything in the car, so a good Ford dealer is the preferred choice. Did you get a battery?
