Well, you know the saying "when it rains, it pours"? Such is the case with this Expedition..... literally. It was quite a rainy night we had Saturday, and I had to spend the night in the ER - so I was away from home. When I got home on Sunday, my neighbor told me my Expedition's alarm was going off at 2am and it sounded like it was trying to start and it was smoking..... basically it was possessed. Luckily my neighbor came over and unhooked the battery on it.
Thinking their description of the events seemed a little dramatic, I decided I'd hook up the battery. Sumbeach'n starter just started cranking, just by hooking up the battery. I used my good buddy google to try and diagnose this string of events, and came across several posts saying the same thing happened to other Expy's in a rain storm. As you stated previously, ADSM, it appears maybe my 3 month old windshield is leaking, sending water to the ECU and that is creating the thing to go into a trance. Piss.
