One of the 'accessories' is locked-up and not turning.
Could be the:
- Alternator
- Waterpump (Vulcan engine)
- Power Steering pump
- Air conditioning compressor
That happened on my Contour, and it was the alternator in that case.
Watch the front of the engine while someone else cranks it over - see what component is not turning - likely to be the culprit.
