7.3l cranks no start

2002 f350 7.3l auto
Tried to start my truck and wouldn't crank so I thought the ts6 tuner went into anti theft mode so I pulled the pcm out and took the chip out only to find out my real problem was the plug for the starter on the passenger side fender had come undone. So now the pcm is back in the truck turn the key on. The wts light comes on but won't go off. Truck cranks but will not start. Need help asap

Welcome to the forum,

Did you have key on at any time while pulling or reinstalling PCM? It has been said the only place for keys when plugging / unplugging PCM is in your POCKET.

Have you rechecked the plug on the PCM to verify it is fully seated?

How does the tinning look on the pins on the PCM where the chip plugs in? Can you see copper?
