I need your help.

I tried to install a remote into my truck and now the truck will not start. The starter will not turn over. Everything else seems to be working fine, but it will not turn over. I did check the voltages at the ignition switch and everything there looks good, even the starter wire. It is 12v when I put the key in the start position.

Any help with further trouble-shooting?

Thank you in advance....

When or if you tagged the neutral safety wire, did you possibly leave it unplugged? The 12 volts from the starter wire on ignition harness only goes through the neutral switch and then to the starter solenoid. Does Ford still mount the solenoid on the fender? Have you checked there for voltage?

I had to replace the PCM in my truck. I completely cooked the other one and is completely dead.

Does anyone know how to program the keys into the PCM?
