The car is ticking but it want start.

First thing to do is check to make sure the battery has a full charge. Inspect battery terminals for any corrosion, remove and clean well, tighten good when you replace them. Start there.

My 2015 Ford escape is having the same issue! Did you happen to find out the root to your problem? Thanks

Replaced battery dont know if problem still exists battery checked out low needs charged. Not that it was bad.
