SENIX, you replied to a previous post I made on FTC and you provided a link to fleet ford truck bas which was extremely helpful. I currently have a rather serious dilemma with the key switch in a '08 F250 and have had no luck finding any solutions. I have posted three different messges on FTC and have contacted several dealers who have had ZERO remedies. If you could possible forward a link or schematic to the key switch wiring harness I think it would be very informative. I have also received a suggestion that this could be related to the factory "anti-theft" system installed for vehicle protection???? Not sure but I do know my truck is currently DOA and that is not making this a good week.
Thanks much in advance.

I was very afraid of that !!!!
I don't have a dealer any where that I have even a small amount of confidence with.
The PCM.....is that Protection Control Module?
What is its function?
Can this only be performed at a dealership?

Thanks very much for all your good help on this website.

Regardless,

Are you already out of your warranty?
