Exclamation programmer problems

I was in the process of setting up my edge evolution on my 1999 F-150 4x4 4.6l and in the middle of it the connector got unplugged and now it will not start. do I need to get the trucks computer reprogrammed now? and if so how would I go about doing that, and about how much will it end up costing me? Thank you Josh

No, just re-install the tune and everything should be fine....or put your truck back to stock and test it. Did you unplug the fuel pump fuse from the power distribution box while installing the tune??

when i tried to reprogram it nothing happened, I put a code reader on it and the computer could not get any thing from the computer. it said something along the lines cannot communicate. i checked all the fusses and they are all good. do I need to either get reprogrammed or get a new one? If so where could i get a new one or get it reprogrammed?

I would phone up Edge and explain your problem to them and see if they can help with it. Was it in the middle of downloading the stock tune or uploading the performance tune when you unplugged it?

Have the dealership reflash your truck. I have a SCT and it has a locking terminal so that won't happen.

Most dealers have a flat rate for stuff like that at the minimum expect $40 up to $70+. If you know someone there it could be done for free or a very minimal amount.
