you pulled all the fuses out at once?


truck is in security mode.

open the hood look over by the air box. you will see a (should be yellow wire with a green tracer. it has a barrel looking connector.

turn your key on and unhook that connection and jump power into it.

the truck should start. let it run for a bit,plug that connector back in. shut the truck off,the truck should now be back to normal.

When u say jump power to it do u mean to the battery or just the other yellow green

the part that will reach the battery. yes you should be able to touch the pin in the plug on the positive stud that clamps the cable to the post. do that with the key on. that wire is the hot wire to engauge the starter.

I pulled the fuses all one by one putting it back in place after looking at it. The fuel pump is not running

If I hit the fuel pump reset might this reset the pump? Also when I tried to jump just the yellow and green wire it does nothing only way to get the starter to crank was from the starter itself

Just a shot in the dark but have you tried hitting the inertia switch in the passenger side dash panel? It may have tripped and caused your problem.

Took it to ford this morning and they told me that the Tcm and PCM r fried and quoted me 1600 does this sound right? They said that they couldn't get the PCM to communicate and if they only changed out a PCM they could only go in and program the PCM and it would start but not move

Well I definatly feel like an idiot because I don't remember pulling any relays but apparently I did at sum point as the fuel pump relay was missing.. Took the truck to a different dealer and after 2 hours of them looking it over found that that relay wasn't even in place. Atleast I know what dealership has a better service department and who not to go too as my bill quickly went from 1600 to 160 hopefully won't have to ever go back to dealers again thou
