What would cause a 2002 AU ute to show dashboard lights but is a no starter
?? the battery was low, and was charged but it wont start.

Any ideas ??

Battery has probably dropped too many cells to start. Put a multimeter on it
when you try and crank it.

We used a ford logic probe, and it didnt start, we by passed the circuitry
and the engine wound over but no start. A flashing warning light on the
dashboard is coded to a computer chip shutdown, so we have been told that in
some instances, if the battery drops under a certain level, the main engine
chip shuts down. So, i think the ute will be taken to our local ford dealer
to be inspected properly. When i get the data back telling us what happened,
i'll post a message explaining what happened. So its back to our own service
vehicle lol

under cranking if the battery is not at least 9 volts it often wont
start , pull the terminal to reset and see if a decent charge will fire
it up/
