2002 Excursion 6.8.. Help! Lol

Hey everyone, glad to be here.. Got some stuff going on with the beast and could use some helpful hints and advice. So I went ahead and did a spark plug change on the Ole V10 but now it won't start.. No warning lights, radio comes on, theft stays blinking. Battery is good. Pulled all COPs a few times just for my own reassurance and check all the common things. All fuses are good, Pulled them a hundred timed and keep checking them lol.. But the no warming lights, are what I think is the stem if the problem.. Weird after a plug change.. Any help appreciated

Nice Excursion!

So it ran fine before, then you changed spark plugs and absolutely nothing else, and now it doesn't start?

Does it crank or not?

Either way, the folks over in the "Excursion - King of SUVs" forum will be able to help you out.

Welcome aboard!

I ended up just pulling all JBox fuses and testing them.. Found ignition switch blown even though it looked fine through the glass.. She's running good again
