I don't think it had anything to do with oil change or fuel filters as it was a couple weeks ago. I would try to remove the connectors to the PCM for q couple minutes and reconnect. Still happens, take to the dealer.

these trucks are not like the old days, I hate to say this but have it towed to a ford dealer, you will pay a high $ rate but they should be able to get to the bottom of this fast and if you go pulling cable off and back on you may make it worse .
which =,s $$

The PCM is located on the passenger side firewall. There are three large connectors on it.

If it helps, the last time I had a leak from the driver's side of the engine it turned out to be the turbo. It has both coolant and oil lines connected to it.

Ok so now that we have confirmed fuel, and you said the truck doesn't even try to start. Have you been able to check your batteries?????? Aka have somebody give you a jump or test the batteries in some way?? This is perplexing to say the least.

Ok just so everybody is tracking, just got off the phone with him. He is having a crank no start issue which based off our conversation I am leaning towards fuel. He relayed to me that he thinks the area around one of his injectors is wet. It could have been one of the workers tried undoing the injector a little to "purge" the air out when he got his filters changed. However he is gonna confirm the "wetness" tomorrow morning, by turning the key to the run but not start position and looking/feeling if there is fuel coming from his injector area. If anybody has any other inputs, shoot em on here, let's help this guy get back on the road!!!

EDIT:Also after looking at the DTC list for 2011 one of the codes I think he's having is P068A- ECM/PCM Power Relay De-Energized - Too Early. This is the only one where de-energized or deactivated with PCM/ECM is in the wording.

Would the security key have anything to do with shutting down the PCM for theft prevention? Try a different key. No PCM would definitely lead to a no start condition when all else is ok.

If it were an anti theft issue I would think there would be a message.


When the key is just turned to the on position do you here a buzz for the fuel pump? That would at least confirm the low pressure pump is working and getting fuel up to the motor.
