2004 F250 Gas Truck - auto trans. Put key in turn ignition, nothing. No power anywhere, battery is good. Battery is charged. Turned the key backwards and all dash lights came on briefly then disappeared again. The overdrive light on the shifter is dimly lit when key is in and ignition on. NOthing else is on. last week while driving truck shut down when turning, then came back on. is this a bad ignition switch?

SOURCE: 95 F150 wont crank

the starter should be replaced. The solenoid is kikcing the pinion out but there is no contact being made to turn the starter motor. I have the exact same truck and before i changed the starter used the old starter tap trick. Tap the starter casing with a hammer and it should start turning again. hope this was helpful for you. Good luck.

SOURCE: When I shut off the ignition the radio and dome light stayed on

I have the same truck. The thing is designed so that the radio and dome light and even the windows will operate for a time which should expire immediately when you open the door. Try turning on the radio with engine running and then turn off the engine and just sit there and the radio should still play. Try the power windows - they too should go up and down. Finally open the drivers door and that should immediately kill the radio, windows and dome light. If it does not - you will need to report that problem to your dealer since the problem is in that timer feature which is part of the vehicles "brain". Sorry I can't be more helpful.

SOURCE: automatic transmission not shifting into 3rd or 4th

call a dealer and they will tell you you are suppose to change your transmission fluid every 2 years or 30,000miles but if you was carrying this much load you may have over heated the transmission so I would shop around and get a good deal at a transmission place where they can replace the filter and the fluid and adjust the bands on the transmission if needed

SOURCE: i have a f250 that

it has a C-6 transmission in it now, you can get an aftermarket overdrive, but you will need a new driveline after installation. replacing the C-6 with an E40D transmission is possible, but you will need to get a stand-alone computer to run it. (kaufmann engineering has them) also new driveline, coolant lines etc.

New master key tripped 2001 Yukon security system, no crank, no start, no power

Resetting the Passlock system should fix it. If it doesn't you need an auto electrician or an auto locksmith.

Just put a new battery in my 1986 ford f250 but after letting it sit for about 4-5 hours the battery is dead and truck has no power. What could cause this problem? I figured it could only be the Alternator...

Check the battery. Any drain that would pull 20 amphours should spark terribly when you attach the battery cable. Fully charged battery usually 80 amphours+.

The Alternator diodes could do it, a grounded starter could do it. You have a truck, but rear window defrosters could pull down a battery quickly. Stuck Relays like the fuel pump, a bad ignition switch where nothing really cuts off when the key is removed. Shorted trailer plug.

Hope my solution helps you.

1988 Dodge Ram 150 318 V-8 Will not start. Battery good. Cables good.Starter is good. Put key in and Nothing. No clicks, nothing. Does this truck come with a spark igniter? Could this be the problem? Where...

Greetings!

Let's keep things simple to start with... Check the battery that it has sufficient charge. (I did say to keep it simple). Ensure the gear selector is in Park or Neutral if equipped with an automatic trans, or depress the clutch pedal if equipped with a manual trans.

Lastly, in keeping things simple... check all the fuses and fuse links (special fusible wire) that power is available to your vehicle's electrical system.

With a test light, check the starter relay with the key in start position is energising the starter relay... bypass the starter relay if no power is present. if the starter operates, you now know the problem is located within the start control circuit (from the key switch through the starter relay to ground via a neutral safety switch (auto) or clutch switch (Manual).

finding the fault should be quick with a circuit diagram.

Cheers, Jay

2004 ford f250 diesel wouldn't start; put new battery in it too.

disconnect negatives on batteries. then put a test lite from negative wire to negative post on battery. must have hood lite bulb out and doors closed. if test lite is on you have a draw. pull one fuse at a time to till lite goes out to narrow it down. good luck mrm
