Just joined this forum in hope of gaining knowledge from Ford experts. I recently placed a 2008 F350 under an International Mail Truck and am having problems getting it started. No doubt I did something wrong, it ran before I put it under there.
Not sure where to start.
I recently put a F350 chassis and drive chain under a 41 International Mail Truck. Everything has gone well with the swap till I tried to start it; the starter is not engaging. All fuses in both panels are good, and voltages to the started relay are good. It looks as though the PCM is not sending the signal to turn the starter relay on. I did put 12v directly to the starter and it does spin, but still does not start. I sprayed some engine start in the intake and did get a sputter out of the engine. The fuel pump also is not running; reset on the passenger side is good and the 12 v does go to the fuel module located at the back drivers side.
Not sure what is shutting this down as I am no expert on Ford trucks, I can only hope that someone with the expertise can help me out. Does the brake pedal need to be pressed to start the truck? Not exactly sure how this brake switch assembly works.
Only dash light is the seat belt light, no other lights lit.
Please help while I still have a few hairs left on my head.
