Make sure to check all under the hood fuses with a test light. Might have some problems in the steering column. Check to see if keys is not to worn out or ignition key replacement. Check or replace the small box under the steering column. These are the less expensive things to do first. Also check your cluster on the back wire connection. Might not be making proper connection if your odometer is not reading. If you have an alarm system that can also effect your problem with age.
If I counted right that was fuse 111 which goes to your ignition switch it was overloaded n separated if it was shorted out there would be a blck cloud inside the fuse
1999 ford expedition, insert key, even b-4 when I open the door sounds like a flasher is flashing, insert key , try to start and nothing, no crank , no turnover, was told by previous owner that I had to depress the remote and flasher would stop , then engine would start. I have made a bypass with solenoid to start but I still hear the flasher. is there a fix for this?
Have you check the starter? Might not be electrical. Put a screw driver between the 2 pole on the solenoid with key forward and see if it will turn. There is also a small box underneath the steering column that activates the thief light. Remove the column plastic and check there. If it has an alarm, some alarms will keep vehicle from turning on. There will be some wires by the foot brake on top that you can connect by switching them around. Normally there is 4 wires with quick connects. Don’t forget to check all breakers and fuses. Hope you will resolve the issue.
Hope I’m understanding your question. Color order? Mine has 2 blue and 1 white wires coming from the harness. If I remember correctly, when the plug is connected to the sensor. The blue wire with power goes to the right outside. Second blue wire no power goes to center and white goes to left inside on plug. If you are replacing the plug with new one, then the plug might have all white wires. Just plug it in this order and follow the upper instructions to connect wires from harness.
Just ran across your video. We replaced the whole reservoir w/ sensor with a stock factory replacement on one of our trucks at work. Light hasn't come back on in over a month. If it comes back we will definitely look into the plug harness. Previous tank was aftermarket, that may have been an issue. Only time will tell. Thanks for the video.
I wish I would have seen this a few weeks ago when my 99 explorer wouldn't start for the same reason. None of the tricks ifound online worked. I finally pulled the relays (6 i think) put them back in and it started. Also, I used my code reader once and it did work but when I tried that last time it wouldn't recognize it and it said my battery was irregular. So I got a new battery and it still said the same thing. After I pulled the relays and started it, I tried hooking it up again and everything was fine.
For anyone who just put in a new ignition switch (bar with prongs/not key cylinder) on a 02 Ford Ranger and all you get are dash lights and no crank and yer thinkin you messed up in the installation, STOP and before you start pulling fuses just (DUH) tap on the solenoid on top of yer starter! Mine cranked on immediately, I probably could have gotten more mileage out of the old switch but what concerns me more is the starter/solenoid failure as I replaced the starter a couple of years ago. I guess, what I'm saying is go with yer gut and keep it simple! Good luck! We learn as we go even without proper tools and training!
Thank you so much! I was stuck at a gas station late at night in the cold. Thankfully there was a auto parts close by, and I was able to buy the fuse and replaced. Started up like a champ 🎉
It happened to me twice before. I swapped two 20amp fuses under the hood and it worked. Next time my chip inside my key was needed cleaning as my key case was cracked. I cleaned it with a tooth brush and alcohol and it started.
I just bought a cherry low miles 77,000 1999 f150 ex cab 2wd 4.6l. these trucks have so many codes and electrical issues. Now the speedometer is sticking at different mph, and then goes down like 5-10 miles an hour at a time. It runs fabulous and seems to drive fine, it's just seems that the gauges have issues? My theft light blinks also until you start the truck. I have manual door locks and no alarm system?
Wow!!! I’m talking 2 years of pissing around with my explorer. New sensors, new fuel pump, new relays, hours upon hours of torture!!! My daughter and I shared this car. She had a set of keys and I had a set. She hardly used the car and when she did, she had problems, which I never did. It was the keys. Holy Hell. Thanks dude.
