did you check all fuses and relays that have to do with the pcm? if no wts light then there is a pcm issue.

I replaced the PCM relay under the hood

do you have a chip in the PCM? if so, remove key from ignition and remove chip...retry.

do your 12v power points in the dash work?

PCM fuse under hood?

Making progress took the chip off WTS and SES came on going to change fuel filter first before trying to start and yes I have power at 12v

Took the chip off put new filter in started right up thanks for all the help

Put the chip back in, try again. Could be a little corrosion on the contacts. If putting the chip back in works, I suggest pulling the PCM and taking care of the corrosion before it becomes problematic.

Just a guess. I know "open"contacts are prone to build up, and since his chip was working for so long, it makes a little sense. They're not prone to wear, but a little oxidation goes a long way

I have had my chip do that once. Pulled it, started the motor. Shut it down, put the chip back in and it was fine. Took a while, I don't even like the keys in the same county when pulling a chip.

How would you go about cleaning it could the chip just be burnt up I'd rather have a programmer on it

leave the keys out and just slide the chip in and ou5 of the pcm a couple times and retry...

Why would you rather have a programmer? A chip gives you shift on the fly, a programmer, you gotta say "Hang on a few minutes, I gotta load another program before I can race you."

Haven't had alot of problems out of this truck but now it seems endless I keep blowing I think it's number 19 fuse inside cab truck start and runs but pedal has no response and gauages don't work you can put a new fuse in but it blows checked on here and it says shifter wire chaffes but that's not my problem it's good
