Did I post it wrong??? I am still looking for suggestions to my "Freestar Suddenly won't start" post yesterday...I'm thinking I need to have it towed to the Ford Dealership.

Do I need to put something in the "Trackback" space???

No, you didn't post wrong, but you should have posted it under FREESTAR. Not to sound sarcastic, but not everybody sets around on here waiting for questions to answer. Most of the time, if nobody answers, then nobody knows the answer. So...

I posted this under you question as this is my guess and what I would try first...

*************************************************
Your senario with the "All lights and radio are fine", but won't start normally is caused by drity battery terminals. Not neccesarily corroded terminals. Just a little oxidation will cause the starter from not having enough amperage to engage and turn the engine over. Try cleaning the battery posts real good, and the inside of the battery connectors. apply a thin coating of dielectrical grease to eliminate future oxidation and give it a try.
