So ive been running an edge evolution cs on my truck on the level 2 (towing) program, and everything has been running great.

Well today i got bored, and decided to explore the custom tuning options. I didnt actually change anything, but when i was done it re programmed the truck to level 2 again. According to the tuner, all went well. So i turned the truck off, and tried to start it, but nothing.
Wont even crank, i have power to everything but the ignition.
The tuner is now locked up and wont even recognize the truck.

I'm at my ranch, 57 miles from home.
Anything i can do??

 

Try unplugging the Edge from the ODBII port for a couple of seconds then plug it back in. My edge Evolution has locked up in the past and unplugging it has helped to unstick it. Hope this helps.

 

Ive tried unplugging many times.
I really hope i dont have to tow it all the way back to town to get re flashed by ford.

But im starting to think i have no other options.

 

You might be able to call Edge and they might be able to unlock the tuner so it can put the stock file back into the truck. But it's a long shot.

 

Edge employees aren't working on saturdays.
I need to figure out if the computer can still be saved or if i'm ultimately going to have to have the pcm reflashed.

 

can u not take it off, unhook batteries and cut lights on, then retry with edge off?

 

It depends on whether the stock file remains intact in the Edge, and if so, can something be done to make it download it back to the truck. If this can't be done, then you're going to have to have Ford put the truck back to stock.

You might try resetting the PCM, disconnect the batteries, turn on the headlights for a few minutes to drain the capacitors in the PCM's memory, then reconnect everything. This might allow the Edge to reconnect.

 

I just tried that, unfortunately it didnt work.
Looks like i'll be in a ranger until monday.
