It won't go !!

[smitty59]

Hi guys,

New here and hope to get some help.

I have a 2002 F350SD Crewcab Longbed with 7.3 PowerStroke.
I love this thing, and it hasn't given me a bit of trouble til now.

The other day I was going down the road and the engine just POOF went to idle. I could floor the pedal and NOTHING !! Snooping around, I found a 10amp fuse blown. Replaced it and instantly had my accelerator pedal and revs back. Well it did it again, but this time the fuse IS NOT BAD !! What's the deal here? I am aware that the pedal just tells the puter where my foot is but that's about all I know about it. They want a small fortune to tow this thing and God only knows what they'll charge me to fix it.

I have stuff to haul and a trailer to pull so I have to get the rig running.


Any help will be appreciated.

Sounds like the pedal assy is shot. IIRC its about $120 at the dealer

[smitty59]

Thanks! Are you sure that's it?
Also, what is IIRC ?
Is it a part I can remove and install myself in the driveway?

[smitty59]

and....I'm assuming it's a dealer only item?....figures !

[Dave]

IIRC is if i remember correctly. Easy to change out at home, Just unplug it and unbolt it at home

[smitty59]

I forgot to put this in my original post,

NOTHING works in the instrument panel! No gages, no indicators light up. Still the same thing ? Or do I have bigger troubles?

[Dave]

thats a bigger problem. have you checked all your fuses. specifically the one for the PCM

[smitty59]

All my fuses are good. The pedal and the instrument panel went at the same time, both times. All other accesories work still. The truck will start, but only idle.
PCM ?..remember, I'm a dummy ! I'm looking for the darn manual, the legend for the fuse panel is in there.....RATS !

Did you ever get it running right?

Also what was the 10A fuse that blew for?

As for this post, I cannot tell if you are joking or not.

IIRC is an acronym for "If I Recall Correctly" it is not a part.

The part Dave was referencing was the pedal Assembly.
