You sir just saved us from a $580 tow bill from the middle of Georgia. The story - was doing this thing, put in a new battery, thought it was fixed until 2 days later it did it again while on the job site, had it towed back to office, still didn't start, so I went home. started getting calls this morning from the guy that jumped in it at 05:00 (didn't know it had arrived on a roll-off the evening before) to drive down to south Georgi. it started for him like all was well, and he made it about half-way and stopped for a biscuit & fuel. Thanks to your video I was able to talk him through what to do. Thank you again for posting the actual answer. But be warned - I'm going to come back here and change this comment if it shows it's ass again though

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

Hopefully it's fixed

[@dougscottking]

Thanks so much for the video. Solved my problem and saved me a trip to mechanic. Good work.

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

Glad it helped

[@soxnpats4lyfe]

Thank you so much!!! Ive been having this issue for weeks. Swapped the relay and its working better than ever. $15 fix.

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

Excellent!

[@SoFloConstructionBro]

My man, thankful for you and this video! Saved me lots of time and money

[@awehnert235]

Thank you, I have the same problem on my 2016 f150

[@jesuspedroza2783]

Thank you so much I’ve been struggling with my truck I took it to ford and they couldn’t find the problem and I ended up paying over 2k this video helped me find the problem

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

So what was your problem exactly? Glad you figured it out. 2k is a ton.

[@danielgalan2321]

Thank you. This was my problem when I had no radio and no power later on. However, truck didn’t start. It turned but wont start.

[@joseanpapajoe7]

Sir. I just wanted to say thank you for this video. I finally get fixed my Ford F150.

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

Great to hear!

[@hectorbermudez2372]

❤❤Great job

[@costeagts3]

Thank you

[@jasondjenkins]

Having same issues, new battery , new stater had the new starter tested and it showed good ,replaced pcm relay checked starter relay fuse still no start no crank, and dash is going crazy just like yours was!

[@spudth]

What was the fix?

[@mpnolan]

Our 2023 F150 SXT stopped in traffic and would not restart. Dealer ordered a brake booster and battery core from the factory. Our symptoms were very similar to yours. I'm surprised they didn't check the PCM or relay first. New truck only had it a week.

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

Not sure why a brake booster would cause a no start... 🤔

[@brasha78]

Ppl take a second to like the video. 62k views and under 200 likes. C’mon Great video. Thanks for the time put into this. Would have been good to grab the camera and show the test of the relay and what to touch the jumper to.

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

I appreciate that!

[@jamespristov8737]

Fantastic troubleshooting video

[@spn455]

Thanks dude, put new fuel pump module in n got a crank no start

[@antonioreyes7126]

Good video my truck doing the same thing I checked all fuses and relays and some times work sometimes don’t relays are good I don’t know what to do from here

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

Could just be the solenoid on the starter itself.

[@CravenM1980]

Thank you that was exactly my issue

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

Glad to hear it helped

[@garrettpriddy1719]

Hello my truck is doing this and i checked everything in this video and eve the battery and the starter. Could it be the alternator or what else could be causing this?

[@jemshobbies]

What did you do Richard????

[@gq-cw6xi]

Relay switch... Just swap them out and same relay, easy way to check had 04 and 07 that did the same thing.

[@TheFunnyGuyUpNorth]

Im having no start issue. After truck sat for 8 months after collision repairs. I had no start issue swapped out starter for new one. Cut off oxidizing ends that went to starter put new ends on. Tested battery many times 12+ volts and good crank amperage. Truck can take 5-150 turns of the key to turn over. Like it has a mine of its own. 2016 f150 v8. Just here a click and dash all gets cummunication

[@davidbowles9904]

Mines a 2011 fx4 150, it turns over but won’t start

[@LOTUSS314]

You have a XLT correct ?

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

XL work truck originally.

[@anthonysova7117]

Swapping relays can cause problems if not identical meanings did the pcm relay have a resistor across the coil if you looked at the relay diagram on it’s case switching a relay that doesn’t have a resistor will smoke the pcm eventually ALLWAYS LOOK it’s called surge protection CHEERS some manufacturers use a diode in the fuse compartment labeled start

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

Good thing they are all identical on this truck.

[@spudth]

Not a Lucas manufactured system.

[@uprightcr2744]

Throttle flap stuck closed or open I bet

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

No

[@chasecloud459]

I’ve replaced my starter , new ignition switch, checked all my fuses, and everything lights up just fine but I can’t get my truck to fire up. Ford f-150 XLT V8. Someone please help.

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

Did you check the starter relay? Are you sure the new starter is good?

[@chasecloud459]

Yup, put a brand new one on there and it has a strong crank when you go through the fuse box. Going to replace the key and check antitheft next.

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

Sounds like a PCM issue. You sure you have power to your computer? Is the dash going crazy at all?

[@chasecloud459]

@@JackofAllMasterofNone No the dash is actually completely fine. What would make this a pcm issue ?
