As the title states. My girlfriends ride. Somedays (2) so far, it just won't start. No click or anything. It acts like a dead battery, replaced last year. Put the jumper cables on and it fires right up. She drove it to work, 25 mile one way trip, it sat all day in the sun (100 plus degrees) wouldn't do anything, click, click. I put the cables on her and she fired up easily. Any thoughts before I trash it for a real SUV?

Seems like a parasitic draw such as from a door ajar or shifter not in park situation.  Anything left plugged into an alwayson outlet?  Does the charging system check out ok?  A tool such as the Solar BA7 is invaluable in diagnosing these situations.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Charging system checked out fine according to the autozone folks. Lights, AC on, Alt putting out 14.5 steady and going in the battery. Never heard of the tool but I guess I'll research it now, never hurts to have tools for the toys. Thanks for the input.

Ahhh, same kind of tool the parts guy had, not that expensive either, Thanks again.

Parasitic draw would be next on my checklist.  Would also check TSBs, perhaps there is a gem in there :)

I don't see anything, but I was reminded of 2 overheating concerns with the 1.6L, would watch for those.

So the Escape did it again yesterday. I pulled the battery, that's a chore, took it to Autozone. They checked it again and said the CCA had dropped and she was bad. Why couldn't they tell me that last time lol. Anyway, brand new battery, no charge, just scratched up hands. Now we'll see if she's good for awhile.
