Electrical Tech / 96 Cougar won't start, Help needed
ok but if this was a starter issue,
Why would dash lights flash, tach jump & radio and climate control no longer light?

The clicking more like a constant chatter I identified as the CCRM
What are the symptoms if it fails? I've searched and can't find anything

Electrical Tech / 96 Cougar won't start, Help needed
Hi everyone 1996 Cougar 4.6

Put it up on the ramps, Did the oil and filter.
Wen't to start it and back her off the ramps and no go.

Won't even turn over, (when turning the key)
I get clicking maybe more like chattering
from what I'd guess is a relay box behind pas. side headlight
right in front of air box

The dash lights blink when key is on and the tach jumps up an down
Radio and climate control do not light up

tried checking for codes and the reader blinks on and off right along with dash lights

cleaned battery posts, new terminals...
tested battery  Volt meter shows 12.79 volts

any ideas? This is driving me crazy ,,,,,,
