First...thanks for posting this video. I too went through most of the steps you mentioned, with exception of the starter testing because as you and your other watchers/followers will see, just swapping keys for me gets the truck running. My 2012 F350 SRW encounters this issue intermittently with new keys that I had cut when I purchased it used. I have an original factory key hidden in my cab in case one of the newer cut keys fails. (the factory key case has breaks in the plastic which makes it sloppy with the stem of the actual key).....My aftermarket keys will remote start the truck but as soon as I put the key in the ignition and turn it to the run position, the truck will die. I then use the factory key very carefully so I don't break the stem and fob apart, and the truck starts fine. I let it run a minute or two, swap back to the aftermarket key and it works fine. Very strange behavior and I am wondering if maybe re-programming EVERYTHING will maybe clear this up for me.....perhaps I will get that done when I take a vacation and no need for my truck.

Thank you very much. Bad pcm relay
Thank you
Interesting 👍🏼
But how does it just loose it's programming out of no where?
That's my question too, I had a customer change their battery and had these same issues. Had to have it re programed.
