No start 460
I have an 89 f250 and it just quit one me. I was driving and it was like the key was shut off. I checked the timing chain and that's good cause the rotor spins. I replaced the Tfi module and the EEC relay. Still nothing. No spark. Any ideas?

If the White/Light Blue has no power with the key in the Start/Run position check fuse link D:


If you find other systems on the truck have no power as well check fuse link M

Fuse link D has a blue wire leading to it. Most fuse links are located on the starter solenoid mounted on the passenger side fender well.

Similar to this:


If you are getting power into and out of the fuse link then you need to trace the White/Light Blue wire over to the coil.

That is not 20 AMP, that is 20 gauge fuse link. Big difference.
Fuse link "D" is on the drivers side of the engine compartment.

Would you happen to have a photo of the location of Fuse link D?

No I do not. I have one for the 89 van but would think they would be different but they may be the same.

The 1989 van drivers side fuse links (the truck may be the same):
