Ok, I know this is the 914 club, but I bought a tow vehicle and the bums at the Ford boards dont know or dont answer...
so all you super guru backyard mechanics... here it is... It wont start Wont turn over 1988 f150 sat for two years Power at the ignition switch (replaced that hoping that was it) Dome, Horn and Headlights work Radio, heater, wipers, dash lights do not work. No power to coil.. No fuel pump activity.... cleaned all connections on fenderwell. clutch switch is fine fuel safety switch is fine. could the fuel electrical system disable all of those accessories? I have power to both relays under the hood, drivers side fenderwell next to the fuel system check. Grounded that tester and no fuel pump pressure...or activity... BTW truck was parked for two years.... My problem is that when I turn the key to the run position, no power at coil and no fuel pump activity (EFI) when I jump a lead to the coil from the battery the accessories work???? Is the fuel circuit part of (some) of the accessories??? I have checked all fuses, and the fuse block itself. Nothing in the cockpit is at fault, at least visually. I have traced all the wires in the cockpit, all seem fine. I have power to the FI relays on the fenderwell, and power to the ignition switch (both yellows) I have read the wiring diagrams for both 1988/89 and 90-96... I have some of each... the wierd part is that when I put a hot lead on the coil, it is back feeding the fusebox..through the ignition switch... So I know that lead works. But only on direction.....backwards Please help...... A fellow 914 zealot in need of a tow vehicle... rich |
