No ignition

Hi !

At First: Sorry for my English, I'm a German

I have a problem since yesterday. I drove and want to shift in the next gear, push the clutch, shift, let the clutch come and the motor are hauling. I thought i was in the wrong gear and push the ne clutch again and the motor stands.

I cant start beacuse I have no ignition. All consumer that need 12v over ignition dont work. No glowing, no wipes, no electrical windows, no cranking of the motor.

The Motor starting relais is OK but it becomes not the 12v to work, when i turn my ignition Key.

Where is the problem ? The fuses left below the steering wheel are all ok. What can i check next ?

Did anyone have an electrical plan of the ignition ?

Thanks and I hope everyone can understand my question.

Greets, Pierre

Do you have exterior lights?

Headlights, taillights, brakes, turn signals?

Check the yellow wires at the ignition switch for 12v. If you don't have that, look at the fusuble links on the starter relay.

Can you take a screenshot from the things that I need and mail it to: pierre.duckert@t-online.de ?

It's a 1991 Ford F250 with 7,3l Diesel, Regular Cab 4WD

Thanks and greets, Pierre

The above picture is of a gasoline model but the fusible links should be in the same place.I siuspect one of the brown ones may be causing your trouble. one of the 2 brown fuse links are for the ignition circuit.

Hope this helps.

@mcanik

Thanks for this pic ! In the cables are fuses ? Oh, oh......american cars......and then in germany )

I get out the ignition switch and I have only 5,2V at the 2 yellow cables. Then i searched for the reason and can't find anything. Then i see this pic and went again out to controll the fuses and as i want to cut the first open i see that one of 4 cables is broken (the inner looks out). The 4 cables go in 1 bigger cable. Tomorrow I fix this cable and hope my Ford is running

Thanks @all here at this time. I hope this was my last Topic to this...
