    Thanks guys, I’ll check that first thing in the morning. Although I was really hoping that you would have really got in there close to show exactly where that
    PCM relay is. But I’ll try to figure it out

      First thing he done was run a scan on it. Not connecting to the pcm was the first diagnosis. That would tell you the problem is likely either the pcm or wiring connected to it.

    I had a no start but it tried..jumped it and started and ran fine..then later idling with ac on in shade it was pegging my temp gauge to the right..and it was hot..barely could touch the fenders..let it cool off started and ran fine..turned off truck, next morning battery had 8 volts and I noticed my headlight running lights were dim but glowing as well as taillights..just barely on, even though nothing was left on. jumped it to charge battery, drove it for about an hour..all fine..put a boat in the water and parked the trailer and unhitched it as I drove away noting my temp gauge was slightly toward hot which is abnormal for this truck to ever be off the half mark...then quickly it went back to normal. shut it off and no lights on anywhere. Plug in cigarette lighter tester say alternator is charging and battery full charge. needless to say I'm baffled. Anyone have a clue ?

    Can you help me with my issue? I have a 2000 F150 Lightning and I was installing an aftermarket Trans Temp Gauge and it requires tapping into your fuse box for power, while doing so I arced one of the wires on the back of the Gauge and shorted something. Now I lost power to the ignition and it will not start. None of the warning lights are appearing in my dash and no click when you turn the key. I checked all of the fuses at the main box and they appear good. It was a very quick and small arc, so I'm puzzled. I'd appreciate any suggestions you can give, Thanks

The coils have 12 volts to the coil but the signal wire is only putting out 4 to 6 volts so it won’t start. I’ve put a new computer, cleaned all grounds under hood,in kick panels, under truck, all ground are cleaned and tight. Inspected all wiring that I can see and all good. Please help.

  • @mydoggylives
    @mydoggylives 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    What do you do if the PCM relay continues to go bad? My dad has a 2004 F-150 that wouldn't start. Checked it and the relay was the problem. Put in a new relay and it worked fine for about 9 months. Then it happened again. Replaced the relay and it was good for about 3 months. Happened again. Now it's popping relays about every 4-5 weeks or so. I've also noticed that the center pin hole on the fuse box for that relay is slightly disfigured / melted (like it's getting really hot for some reason). Any ideas as to what might be causing this to happen or what I should check / replace next? I'm thinking of getting another fuse box from another truck of the same year (in case there's a short or something in this one) and just swapping them out.

Then all of a sudden it start to run poorly and shuts off . Checked spark on all coils but have nothing . If I leave the truck for a couple of days I can go out and it’s starts again fine but then it does the same thing all over again . Any idea what’s going on with my truck .

    Can anyone help me I've been stuck on this late last night all right so something going on with my truck it's F-250 5.4 l V8 2006 super duty but at first I was just going down the highway about 70 mph and then I look down and my tow haul light is flashing. So now my speedometer won't go past 300 RPMs without taking a few seconds before it violently jerks. And then on my way home I can only go 30 miles an hour but I did stop and pull over once the whole tow hauling light came on and it jerked I did pull over for those. Now here's the thing I'm not sure could it be the TCM or it could be the PCM or possibly could be the TFT sensor or I just need to flush the whole transmission maybe I just need a whole transmission. But I've hit a rock I don't know who else to ask right now

I'm going to try replacing the harness and I will gladly update here afterwards.

      There must be a wiring short somewhere if it lights up without the relay - probably to the headlights (unless the fogs come on with the headlights off).
      As for why it only happens with the relay removed.. that's a solid mystery, maybe the relay or junction box is faulty and is somehow grounding out the fog light wiring when it's in place?
