Still havent figured it out... Everything in the car works, it just wont start. Battery is fine, everything is good. I am out to sea now... until the end of the week. When I get back I plan on checking all my grounds, the power/groud on the battery are good. So I am really just lost... if my grounds are good, then I really have no idea.. Is there a certain fuse I should look to see if its blown.. I thought about the fuel cutoff being hit, but I drove it after installing everything, so that cant be.. also I think it would turn over... When I turn the key to start I get NOTHING. No clicks, ticks, or anything. Its like I am not even trying to start it...

its not the fuel shut off. Its a fuse or an electrical short. If i were you i would put a battery onto the starter solinoide and see if it will crank from there.

I still think its a fuse man, my SCT blew a fuse in my car and everything lit up and everything just wouldnt do anything. Try passenger side footwell fusebox could be in there. I dont remember the number off hand but it was a 10 amp fuse. Sorry nothing else comes to mind.

Same thing happened to mine while it was at the tuners last week. Had him pretty puzzled til he stopped and thought about it.

How are you going to check your fuses when you're out at sea, dude? We can give you things to try all week but if you can't try anything it's like shooting in the dark.

I still say it's either a fuse or relay. Check it out when you get back and let us know.

I really need to pony up for a Ford Service Manual. Something like this is going to happen to me after one of my little "projects" one day....

I'll try to see if I can locate the exact fuse/s and or relays you need to check. Where is 157DB with his schematics when you need him lol.

Here's where you're starter relay is located in the engine bay fusebox:

I wonder if your tuner would show any error codes that may shine some light?
