I have a 2003 Ford Windstar... It has problems starting. Now before anyone
says its the battery. I have replaced the battery, I have had the
alternator, the starter and the cylnoid checked. They are all perfectly
FINE... It will run for about a month perfectly fine, and then all of a
sudden one morning it just wont start, I then jump it and it usually runs
fine for a month again. Well just recently it started doing this again,
and the jumping it isnt working, I jumped it this morning, drove to work
and it ran fine. I parked it and went to go to lunch later in the day and
it wouldnt start once again. So i then jumped it again, it started, ran
fine. I then went to leave work and once again it wouldnt start.. Does
anyone have any suggestions.. I am ready to go crazy!!!

Make sure your battery cables are clean and tight on both ends,

Sounds like it only misbehaves when it's been sitting a while?
Make sure there are no drains on the battery, like an interior light
left on or stereo left on.
Or try disconnecting the battery when parked.
HTH,

Can you be more descriptive? Does it not crank? Does it crank but not
fire up?
