Please help.
2011 Explorer XLT V6, named "Vader", with 179k miles. Engine runs amazing, shifts great, drives smooth like luxury with no issues. The problem is, if it sits unused for about 48+ hours it won't start. Sometimes it has absolutely no power, and sometimes it will do the startup procedures correctly, lights work, then when I turn the key it goes dark and the fuze panel under the hood starts a rapid clicking noise that doesn't stop.
After attempting diagnosing myself with 0 success, I took it to a shop and $220 later they said it has no issues, despite having to jump start it in order to drive it TO the shop. No warning lights, no codes, battery works great (its 5 months old), alternator works great, starter works great, and the draw when off is only 15 milliamps. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to go from here? I'm lost. Please help! Thanks!
