Lost throttle

I have a 2003 F250 with the 7.3 turbo diesel. All at the same time i lost my gauge cluster and throttle. The truck will crank but none of my gauges work and it will take no throttle at all, will do nothing but idle no matter how far you push the throttle. I have changed out the throttle assembly and this didn't help at all. Have checked all fuses under the steering wheel and all appear to be good. Has anyone ever experienced this ? What are yawls thoughts in getting it fixed ?

Check the fuse marked ign run power feed 10amp # 45. You'll want to check the O/D wire for chaffing in the steering column. Below is a thread that should be helpful.

Let us know how it works out for you.

I had a similar problem several years ago, gauges didn’t work well but engine would idle without any throttle response. I limped back home and found a short in the wiring on the base of the **** lever. Corrected that and all was good. How e you are successful in correcting your issue and please report back your particular fix.

Yep, sorry, big thumbs with phone. Shift lever is correct, at the lever base/steering column where the wiring goes inside the lever on up to the push button control.
