Engine Cranks But No Start or No Crank
The 2020 Ford Explorer exhibits a no-start condition with no cranking sound every time. This indicates a failure in the starting system, likely electrical, preventing the starter motor from engaging.

Faulty starter motor or solenoid (open circuit, burned contacts)
Ignition switch or starter relay failure (no signal to starter)
Security system immobilizer fault (PATS system preventing crank)
Engine mechanical seizure (rare, but possible if no crank at all)
