Problem Starting

Ok hopefully someone can help me out. I have a 2003 F350 6.0 with a superchips programmer in it. Jumped in this morning to go to work and when i got to work i shut the truck off and jumped out. Went to get back in and she wont start. Wont even turn over. Checked all the fuses even tried replacing the starter relay 307. Nothing. I did screw off with it real quick when i pulled in the driveway but not anything out of the normal. I dont even have power to the started with the key turned. Am i missing something?

I agree with brickie, try moving the gear shifter it may not have found neutral. You do have power every where else right?

Put the meter on the starter and put the shift lever through the gears slowly. It's not uncommon for the linkage to get sloppy,there is a post in the superduty forums now from a guy with the same issue.https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/8...ont-start.html

I had an F150 do this to me. Turned out it was the key sensor in the ignition. It happened out of the blue, too - drove it for a few hours on a road trip, stopped to get a bite to eat. Came back out - nothing.
