Our 2000 4.6L Expedition recently left me stranded an hour and a half away from my house. My buddy and I pulled out the old multimeter and first thing we noticed was the battery posts had great voltage but the terminals had close to none b/c of corrosion. So I replaced the terminals with a buddy and it started and worked great for another day. Now It won't even get enough power to light the interior lights or unlock the doors. Their is a relay under in the drivers side interior fuse box that is clicking like crazy.

Any advice on what to do next? Replace Relay i'm assuming?

To be honest it sounds like a bad battery. A battery can show 12 volts and not have enough amps to turn a starter. I would have the battery load tested first.
