so today i was driving ( i was with my family going to yard sales because its fun lol) and then r car didnt turn on it a 1996 ford explorer and in the past its stopped but hen it starts again so we went walking to get gas and that wasnt it either so we finally called the towing company and they took us home and im goin to call the mechanic tommrow does anyone have an idea of wats wrong with this car im gettng tired of it
 
It does sound electrical. I would check the batt terminal connections for corrosion and have local auto part stor do a batt/alt diagnosis. Most are free at checker or auto zone.
 
it could be the battery try to jump start it before you take it to a mechanic if it starts then its was a bad battery or its alternator or maybe the fuel pump went out have the charging system check
 
First thing could be that the truck is not a Tahoe or Grand Cherokee. Next, are you putting the Ford in park. May be you need a new starter. You should get it tested. One of the battery post could be rotted out. I mean it sounds like everything is fine, just power is getting cut off somewhere. Please trade it in for a Tahoe!!!!
 
did you try jump starting it? could be a battery issue. If it is intermittent could be bad connection at the battery terminals or the alternator. Do the electrical accessories all work without the car started? If the work fine, does the starter make any sounds when turning the key? Does the engine turn over?
