Ford F150 has power but wont start - how to fix - 

Thanks for sharing. The best part about this video is you admitting you were over your head and needed to phone a friend instead of winging parts at it.

You are a life saver for this video!! Thank you thank you!

Good video,i luv Ford F-150 trucks,especially the older ones,those problems can drive you crazy not knowing after market equipment was installed,if a after market alarm system was in stalled,you can not use your factor keyless entry anymore,once you look your doors,with factor keyless your car will not start,and it will also drain your battery In a couple of days,

Kudos to you for knowing when to say "I don't know" :)

having the same symptoms, truck wont start after a basic oil change, i went to the good ole youtube searchbar and landed on your video after finding that my problem wasnt the fuel pump shut off inertia switch. watched your video. went out, put the key in my 2002 f150 5.4xlt, shifted it into the neutral position, and it started right up. so i wanted to personally thank you for that.

It's works for a 2002 Ford Expedition also. Thanks-A-Bunch. You saved me so much money

Bro you safe my life , thanks !

Why not show where the remote start module was? if that was the issue a person would thin k you would have shown that

Thanks man spare key worked out.... obviously the chipped key is bad...👍🏼😁🙏🏼

I happen to have the same issue. I have replaced the starter on my truck three times since January 2023 and I do have the remote start that I will be disabling to prevent it from shorten it out once more thanks helped tremendously.

VERY useful. Thank you.

I’m guessing you just saved me about $3000. You won’t believe what I can spend on a simple repair. I’m world-class.

Thanks this info just helped me out.

Great video man.Please dont let any dumbass or dumbass comment discourage you from making these videos. They are very helpful and THANK YOU!

Hell yeah man thank u I'mma go try it now my trucks been down two days and ashamed to say it but I'mma mechanic

On my 2010 Ford F150 mine would do that every once in awhile and mine had to do this the admin key luckily I have two keys and every once in awhile I have to use the other key to get it to start and then I can go back to the original key I don't have my key setup I only have two admin keys other than that it works just about every time so I keep my extra key hidden in my truck

Is this just for aftermarket remote starts or could it also be stock remote starts

A dealer installed remote starter would be the first thing disconnected in diag. I wonder if the problem came back later.

Would have been nice to know where the remote starter is, & how to remove it.

Thanks bro for your help

Also was this a factory remote added or did it come from the factory with remote start

How do I remove the remote starter ? Help 😩

Hi I have a 2014 f150 bought a pcm for it now truck wont crank or click bought starter and battery as well you think there's something I missed?

How are sales in relation to tax returns? Thanks !

another great product from ford.....next issue: sensor that monitors the sensors isn't sensing.

Does the 2010 f 150 platinum have a remote starter? I use the key only but having the same problem already checked fuses and jump the starter

Real Talk.. this video just helped me out big . 👍

My 30 amp fuse blows on Ignition. 2011 f150 Full power everywhere else Second time in a yr I had to change the fuse. Weird is it still the remote shorting out causing it to blow the fuse??

Same issue, but intermittent in cold weather. Battery has been replaced int he past month. No remote start feature. Can a starter freeze in -5F weather?

Funny story I bought a 1 owner 100k TBSS for 4k had some crazy remote start and I was going thru the same issues as you all power but wouldn’t crank my initial thought was the security is not reading the key I ripped everything out still nothing asked around and 1 person out of 1000 said hey try the starter 🤦🏻‍♂️ I tapped the starter and boom! Fires rite up long story short 4k TBSS $130 starter big pay day!

how do you find a specialist for electrical problems?

06 5.4 Lincoln Mark LT New battery. Replaced N.S. switch, replaced starter...still has occasional no start ...fuses good...ideas? Doesn't start in neutral or park unless I turn the key a few times.

Another reason it won’t start is if you use a non-transponder key. A plain steel cut key won’t work.

Looking at getting a 2016 F-150 but dealer notes it wont start I am thinking this may be problem. How did you disable the remote start? Is that an after market starter is factory the same?

Ah hah! This could be my problem!!! I used the remote start to start the truck and it didn’t work and from there it would crank but no start. Checked fuel line and it is pumping fuel, so possibly no spark. Checked fuse #27 it’s OK, checked relay #7 and relay #8 all checked out fine. I will do the relocation anyway since a lot of people having problem with it.

Ignition switch?

after market remote start ?

Had similar issue today: 2015 all of a sudden wouldn't turn over, battery fine, about every 4 times attempting to crank it complains about not being in Park even though it is. Thinking neutral safety selector. Did get a "check vehicle charging system" error once or twice too, but battery tested fine and held up voltage when attempting to start, lights not dimmed at all.

Thanks mha man for the great info, got yourself a new subscriber 🎉

2019 Ford F-150 · XLT Pickup 4D 5 1/2 ft water damage does not start, spray Nitress starts it, thoughts?

I got a truck i looked at were someone installed a aftermarket stereo an when i got enough power to sysytem it would go to nuetral no problem, windows,lights, all fine, when you press or turn heating cooling knobs it turns stereo on. So im like ok , remove stereo an stereo fuse, an then put new starter, battery ,alternator on it should fire up. Thats my thoughts,. but im not 100 percent so any help be great, because when i tried to crank the person i had helping me said there were sparks coming from negative terminal on battery an i could here a weird sound when it tried to crank. but i know personal that they have that aftermarket im there an they messed it all up. i really feel thats it or im hoping anyways. well anyhelp be great

Great info thx

I replaced the FOAB-14B192-aa in fuse box of 1999 ford f-150, controls the fuel pump. This did the trick. $25 part from advanced auto.

Thank you just worked god bless you

My 2015 F150 super crew 3.5 litre won't start. Ford had it for 3 weeks. Cleaned contacts on the ECU. Worked great for a day. Now, all the warning lites come on and no radio, wipers etc. I leave the key in the on position for a minute and I hear a chime, and then the truck starts. No idea. I tried both keys and the same result. Also, when the truck won't start, I try the remote start and the horn will only beep once. Not twice. I'm at a loss. 41,000 miles! I think it's the ECU

I’ve been having problems with my 2011 F150 as well a lot of electrical problems transmission having the wrench indicator show and when you reset it turn it off four times it works and have had problems where it won’t start I took the battery cable off let it sit for a minute put it back on then waited a few more minutes before trying to start it and then finally it started I think it’s a sensor problem when these vehicles have so many miles my 2011 F150 has 260,000 miles on it

Currently dealing with this same issue except I'm getting a bad range selector switch code. Once I clear the code the truck starts just fine. Replacing the neutral safety switch tomorrow.

OMG! Thank you!

$300 for the guy to come and diagnose the issue ? Sounds pricey. Did he have to come far ?

Where is that box location

My truck doing same thing but will start with remote start..once key inserted as required cuts off. Help?

I've seen other problems where cam sensor shorts out causing no voltage at TR sensor not allowing the vehicle to start because it doesn't think it's in park

Love the video but need your help PLEASE! My 2011 f150 5.0 just died on me the other day whole driving and only warning light that popped on was my oil light. Checked oil and have plenty. Checked all fuses, relays and everything is good. I hear fuel pump kick on and will crank just won't start. Please help me. Thanks in advance

Thank you very much!

I had the same problem . Remote starts mess all the system

My relay goes out and my gear indicator light won’t come on and I’ll know it’s not gonna start. I have the casing off my relay and I turn the switch on and start it from under the hood

appreciate the info!!!

Similar situation. When I jump mine cranks. Battery and alternator are fine. I get full power and it try’s to turn over but won’t. Only the keyless starter will crank it sometimes with a little hesitation. Any ideas?

Please assist me I have 2010 F150 XTR , has a demobilizer and would not start., the fuel bump fuse does not seem burnt out. yet would not crank.

Good afternoon. This is exactly what is happening with my 2011 fx4. My command start was tajen out a month ago. Just curious where to direct the dealer? Replace the immobilizer? Any info is appreciated. Thanks

Step one. Try your spare keys. I got my key wet and had the same emobilizer issue. Thanks

For mine - 2004 Triton V8 - it doesn't happen in the morning or after it's sat for 2 hours or more. Only if I drive it, stop for a few minutes like the gas station or grocery store then try to start again after only sitting for 10 - 30 minutes.

i have the same issues with a 2011 f150 but it doesn't have remote start so now what.

Where is it located I’m having the same issue on my 2012 f150

Where’s the remote start module?

Have a 2006 f150 doing same thing but no remote start

How do you find that guy that has the knowledge? Had a mechanic and a key reprogram guy out and still won’t turn over.

Hey dude make a video about how much you can profit per month with x amount of cars. Would be a great video lots of views

Here's another easy fix I did on 2015 F-150 that wouldn't start but had power. I smacked the starter with a hammer and it started !

Body control module is broken BCMii

Powertrain Control Module (PCM) shenanigans?

I just wanted to add what I have found to also be the issue. And that's fuse 75 in the engine bay

Thank you, exacly right

Where is the remote starter module?

Can someone help me? I have a non comun problem. Same truck..

Where is the remote start box is on a 2015 F150 my truck is doing the same thing that your truck was doing want start

I’ve got the same issue, I unplugged my remote starter but still no luck. just getting the click under the dash but have full power at the battery

Man!!!!! Only if I had a remote starter. Im having the same issue, but no remote start. Every once in a while the truck will actually show in 2nd gear when its in park instead of no gear selector light. Most of the time though, I have power but it wont start because its not showing what gear its in. So close to my issue! :(

Thank you

Where is the REMOTE STARTER that you pulled out?

I don’t even have a car, but I like to learn how to fix cars, I know the basics like fuel pump, radiator, timing belt problems, but I want to get better. :/

Ford = Fix Or Repair Daily.... I love My Fords anyway!!!

Check shifter make sure it is in park or neutral .!

My battery light is on . But wont start jus tick tick tick

I think is the same my truck problem right now the same f****** problem

Exactly what mine is doing, but I don't have remote start.

Diagnose!

Disconnect the battery 🔋

Having this issue on my 2011 Raptor RIGHT F-in NOW

It's the anti-theft device. You need to have to get keys to reset itor you have to call a locksmith and have one made for like $300

I’m willing to bet the key was dropped in water. Hopefully he has a spare

Seems like you get a lot of junk at auction

Brake switch

The aftermarket remote starter does not have ANYTHING to do with the PRNDL switch not working. On a 12 F150, the transmission valve body has a hall effect transmission range switch that sends pulses measured it Hertz to the PCM and the PCM sends a message via CAN computer network to the Instrument cluster to activate the various PRNDL lights. The PCM also allows the starter to engage based on the Transmission range switch. The alarm remover guy doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. He just ripped you off for $300.

Buy the pros

Having a click but didnt start

Didn’t help in the least. I don’t have, nor know WTF a goddamn remote starter is. Why the fuck is there even a security system on the goddamn thing? It doesn’t DO ANYTHING!

Karma. Hahahaha. Will get worse till you make up for your sins

Not helpful

Why not just get to da point
