My PSD won't stop cranking !
There was a couple of below zero days this week here in Co. After "wait to start " light went off I cranked the engine. When the engine started slowing down and I knew it wasn't going to fire, I turned it off.The engine kept cranking ! I pulled out the key...still cranking. I jumped out my 97 F250 and grabbed a wrench and disconnected one of the batteries. After about a minute I reconnected it and started cranking again. I pulled off the ground cable again and went into the house to get warm. After about a half hour I connected the battery back up,no cranking,I put the trickle charger on it. Next day I checked my block heater...It wasn't working. Troubleshooted it. Ohmmeter said the heating element was good, the cord was not. I repaired the cord, plug it in. After about two hours, the engine was warm, the batteries were up and it Fired ! My question, why did the engine keep cranking with the key off !
