deansst Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) Hi new member here if your ford edge or ford flex has a problem starting. Were you have good battery .turn the key and nothing happens! Chances are its your starter thats the problem.Take a heavy flat bar and wrap on the starter a few times and then try starting the car.It may take a couple of tries to get it have another person turn the key while you rap on the starter.The starter is located up high on the drivers side of the engine.Hope this helps. Replace your starter because it will happen again. This is a quick fix in case you get stranded. Edited October 16, 2020 by deansst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajo2012 Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 If you keep banging on the starter you better hope that the windings are not glued on and you don't knock them loose. Your going to need a need a new starter anyway. Banging on these newer starters is not a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 There is another reason why you may not have a working starter. If the PATS light is flashing rapidly/i.e. the keyfob is dead, then the starting system will be disabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
