Hi, Jon. I'm having some what the same problem. I have so far found that the ECM relay is part of my problem. I changed it out with a generic from parts store. Works for a min. Then gets to hot and if I shut it off it wont work again. I dropped my fuse block and found corrosion on (I believe the ground bus bar pin) I plan to clean it and get the right relay. The correct relay has a resister in it, the one I bought doesn't. Same volt and amp. Cost 20 at store. I seen fords is 70+ -

Hi Jon, just wrote a mess. Got wiped out. Anyway I got some what the same problem. I have a 2011 super duty. I traced it down so far up to the ECM relay. Bought a $20 from the parts store... It gets hot then doesn't work. I found that one of the terminals is corroded (I believe its a terminal connected to the ground bus bar in the block. I plan to clean it and buy the correct relay. The right relay has a resister in it the generic doesn't. Fords is around $70 + -) by the way it also caused a communication problem with the DLC. And all sort of other comm issues. I also have a comm problem with my trans module and navigation mod. Unrelated I believe. Hope this helps

My f250 was running at an idle then just quit. I've checked all my fuses. It turns over just fine but but has no fire.

Mine did that at a remote fishing location.

Not starting

Ford F-250 2009 5.4liter 136000 miles
Sometimes I can turn the key to crank it & nothing happens, it's not the battery, then when I remove the 27 fuse (under dash) put it back it will then crank up. I didn't have any problems until I removed it to see if that would be a good place to run a Killswitch from

Led capable relay

Ford F-250 2014  80000 miles
I installed switchback LEDs on my 2014 F250 and have a very odd problem
I have installed resistors and that has fixed the hyper flash but another issue is driving me crazy
When the ignition is in run but the truck is not started the switchback LEDs work exactly as they should white running light amber signal and hazard. Great looks amazing!

Now the problem as soon as I start the truck and turn on the running lights the white lights work but don't switch to Amber when signalling they don't flash at all
When I turn off the running lights the LEDs flash. Sometimes Amber sometimes white sometimes both colours intermittent

Why is this and how do I fix it
