A friend of mine has a 2002 7.3. He has no gauges or throttle. we thought that it was the wires in the gear shifter. We checked that. No broken wires. What else could it be? Please help.

 

Cant remember which one but the Throttle Position Sensor shares a fuse (under the dash) with the instrument panel

 

Have you checked all the fuses uder the dash and under the hood? Sounds like a fuse or something to me.

 

All fuses good. He decided to take it to the stealership. Ill post after he finds out what they say is wrong.

 

Mine was fuse #19, blew when I canceled OD. Had to replace gearshift lever. Hope his is that easy.

 

gear shift has been replaced. Dealership is checking wiring harness. Truck has also been experiencing battery drain.

 

Just got word back from the stealership. The complete fuse box is fried along with all of the relays. Still no word on cost. I wonder what could cause the complete fuse box faliure.

 

MeMeMeMe I want this! This sounds like the kind of thing that only happens to me.

 

Please check the bottom row of(red) 10 amp fuses. your looking for the 4th one on the bottm from the right. This is your Gas Pedal and dash cluster. If that fuse is blown replace and drive if it blowes again you need a new Pedal Assy(apporx $ 140. from your local Ford dealer).

 

We have an 02 here at work that blows that fuse every time you put it in reverse while coasting forward. and ONLY under that exact circumstance. If you come to a complete stop and put it in reverse, no problem, but coast just a little and put it in R and its blown..........
