Wont move

Just bought an 01 F250 7.3 but it will not move I think it has something to do with the fuses because it won't go in forward or reverse but I can't find an accurate diagram For fuse box I'm missing probably 8 fuses underneath the dash and I think one of them has to control the transmission module. I would appreciate it if I can get some ideas on what it could be if someone doesn't think the fuses

The overdrive light coming on? Is it flashing? Does the detent work? Any loose plugs on the transmission or on the driver fender where the transmission plugs are?

Does it have fluid in the tranny?

No overdrive light is on. Have a service engine soon light. Trans has fluid. Plugs are in too. Tryed to put in 4x4 and it would not work.

Check the line pressure bolts on top of the valve body. They have a tendency to back out. You could have just score this truck is that's the only issue!
If the fluid is still red looks and smells good, you may have just bought a winning lottery ticket. A fuse does not control the transmission by the way.

Have you checked the detent on the side of the transmission? It controllers what gear the truck is in. If the cable isn't on or isn't held from moving that could be it.

I may not understand what you have replied to my original question "Is the transfer case in gear?" The truck will NOT move (by putting the transmission into any gear) if the transfer case is in NEUTRAL. I don't have the switch for selecting, I have a manual floor lever
