tyr removing the leads from battery & jumpstart with leads disconnected , if it starts then battery is totally fubar, If you have multi meter load test battery put leads from meter to battery terminals & turn key if voltage drups below 10.5 volts battery u/s. if power all good check power to exciter wire on starter should have battery voltage when cranked, if not replace starter relay as it could be burnt out/ still clicking over but no voltage output, if you have battery voltage at exciter wire then starter u/s

Had this issue recently in my HSV - 3 batteries would not kick it over, but they worked in other cars - car would jump start, but no battery power while driving (only running on alt).
I could get power to the dash, but no crank, But there was no voltage drop on the bat when cranking. Turned out I had a corroded terminal which was preventing enough current flowing to kick the motor over, but enough to run the electrics before cranking....

Yep, dud cell I reckon.
These newer Fords need a good dose of current to fire them up. Computer says no! .
