Post gauge cluster removal

1995 F-150: Like an idiot, I removed the gauge cluster to replace a bulb, then hooked it back up and now the truck won't run correctly. Is this a computer issue? Please help! Mark

If you have dual tanks, did you plug in the switch? If you unplug the switch, it will turn over but not start because the switch stops the fuel pump. Did you mark the direction of the way the plugs were mounted in the back? Maybe you had one reversed, but i doubt that will not make the engine start. I have a good feeling that its the switch because that is the only thing that will cause the engine not to start if you fittle with the gauges and they are all plugged in.


Primary rig is:
95' F-150 EB 300/6 5 spd with 4" Superlift, MSD, Ram Air, Gibson Exhaust, 32" BFG Muds
NEW PICS IN MY GALLERY!! :-)


Then theres:
88' F-250 Superduty 351 + c6
95' Mercury Cougar 4.6L V-8
80' E-350 300/6 and a
3 spd column shifter baby. Top speed, 65mph, Go Baby Go!

The newest addition to the Ford family is a 99' Mustang GT 4.6L

THANK YOU! You were right! Hadn't put the trim piece back on because I wanted to see if everything worked so the dual tank switch wasn't plugged in. What a great forum! Mark (and thank you from Judi who yelled at Mark for messing with my truck!).
