My expedition won’t start. I thought it was the battery but the lights still come on. Took the car to AutoZone they said barttery was okay. But if I give it a jump it will start but have the same problem the next day

how far away was autozone? it could have been far enough that the battery was charged fully. you could have a parasitic drain. something left on or something draining your battery overnight… check to make sure your brake light switch is not sticking keeping your brake lights on. check at night to see if any lights are left on. here is a link to see how to check for parasitic drain.
