I have an issue with my 2008 f250 6.4 where the gauge cluster is dark and truck won't crank. The only light on the dash is the airbag light. I have tried reprogamming with my Spartan tuner, checked fuses, removed aftermarket alarm, charged batteries. I scanned and got two codes. P1260 theft detected and a u code no comm with cluster. Please help!!
I have checked all fuses and relays. Battery voltage is good. I have power everywhere. The cluster is dark except for the airbag light. I have seen other people post with the same issues but I haven't seen any resolution
I am hoping that isn't the case. I hate any trip to the dealer. I think the pats activation has a lot to do with the communication with the cluster. All that information is routed through there. I was hoping this was an issue someone has run into before and knows an easy fix.
My 08 had some sort of anti-theft device on it. One day it wouldn't start. The Red Lock light in the dash came on. It would crank, but not start. Wiring is over my head. A friend came out and pulled the dash panel, and started cutting everything out from under that dash not relevant to operating that truck. It was a freaking mouse nest of wires! Never figured out what the problem exactly was, but it ran when he got done, and everything still works!
I had the same problem. The alarm was put in with electrical tape and zip ties. I removed the aftermarket alarm after I had this problem. The weird part is that the cluster doesn't work. I am calling the tuner company (spartan) to see if it has anything to do with that. It's driving me crazy!
