Re: problem with starting 04 ford Explorer
When you tried to jump start it, did you make a large spark at the cables?
Just to be sure, did hook the cables up correctly?

OK. A few possibilities.
A fuse may have blown.
A relay may have burned.
Or the starter is just stuck. I have seen this a few times when trying to crank an engine with a weak battery. The starter actually gets stuck engaged to the flywheel and does not operate. A way to check that and free it up it to either grab the engine belt to turn the engine by hand.(Be very careful) This will turn the flywheel and disengage the starter, then it will funtion normaly after that. Or use a wrench or socket on the crank pulley center bolt to turn the engine. It only has to move a little bit. You would hear a clunk of the starter releasing if this is the problem.
Other that that, you will need to check for power to the starter solenoid. If non, then electrical testing would be needed of the starter circuit. If you do have power to the starter, and it does not turn, then the starter is bad.
