loosers!!! yeah i would try the idea listed from the f150 but i would also recheck the fuel shut off button and for giglles hook jumper cables from the battery to the starter and see what happens...
there are 2 parts, the solinoid is the smaller of the two cylinders and there should be some wires running to it. put the positive there. and under it should be a bigger cylinder shapped thingy pu the negative to thats wires and give it a shot... see what happens with that. if that works its a starter loop ground but im thinking it could be the pats system as described above... it seems to be the best fitting to the issue

UPDATE!!: well I just got back from my visit with the shop. They told me the starter isnt getting power...duh! They told and show'd me that the starter fuse is not getting a ground. Its got power to the fuse, but its got no ground so the power itsnt getting sent to the starter. They told me that my aftermarket tuner/tune has caused this issue.... I have talked to my tuner, they have never seen/heard of anything like this. However they are doing everything they can to help me get this issue resolved. The shop is saying they may been to get me a entire new PCM. Any inputs anyone?!!!!!!!!

How much do you trust these guys? Sounds like someone trying to line their wallet to me. Think about it: the car worked fine with tune before gauges. Went haywire after gauges, wonder what the problem is?

I see what your saying, but I really starting to think the gauges didn't cause this. The car ran fine after install, I started it a few times after installation. Although I dont think at all that the PCM needs replaced. I just cant see how gauges caused a fuse to loose its ground. And I have removed the gauge wiring and it still wont start....

It's something to think about. I would get a second opinion because anything computer wise is going to cost a fortune.

Yeah I know, I have been talking with my Tuner. He is being awesome with all this. He is giving me a ton of things to talk to the shop about.
