dead truck!

[CloverLeafFarm]

had to remove my tw chip from my pcm, put my pcm back into the positiona and plugged in the harness plug in the motor compartmet. And nothing! Have no power with the key besides the door sounds.....i'm lost and don't know what needs to be done
Check all my fuses and relays and they seem fine, all the connections are fine so i'm not sure whats preventing the truck from doing anything? it never made a difference with the chip put back in or not.....anything would help

NO doug! you dont have to worry about that...i'm not sure if i fried the pcm or i just need to get it re-flashed for some reason........i'm waiting for my brother to get here w/ his superchip and i'm going to see if it will read whats going on

well my local ford dealership said they can reflash my pcm for a small fee of 93$....maybe i can find a used one from the slavage yard

I don't care to come help out. I'm not doing anything anyway.

Were the keys in the ignition when you pulled the chip?

thanks doug, but its not worth the trip if i cant figure it out im going to see if the shop thats building my tranny next week will just come up and tow it down to their shop, and see if theyd just fix it

Dave- the keys were out of the ignition, and the both positive cabels were off the battery.....thats always the first step i do when i remove my pcm/chip

He had the batteries disconnected when he removed it.

i recheckd all the rods on the plug on the pcm and everything looked perfectly fine like it should, and i made sure to get a nice straight tight connection between the 2 connectors to tighten it back up...i'm not sure why it happened, maybe just enough static electricity fried the pcm?
