Exclamation HEEELLLPPP!!!! COMPUTER FRIED?!?!?! NOTHING WORKS!!

hey, today i parked my 2000 f350 and removed the overhead trip computer to fix it, i broke it in the process so i removed it all together and put the consol back up. i just went to go move the truck closer to a plug (block heater) and the first thing i noticed was the glow plug light did not come on.. surprised me abit, but still fired it up. then.. went to move it, NO gauges worked AND the go pedal does not work!!! replaced the trip comp, nothin.. put my tuner back to stock, nothin.. HELP!!! PLZ

No WTS light usually points to a blow fuse for the fuel bowl heater. Unplug it replace fuse and see what happens.

If thats all it is, it is a common problem, fuse for the fuel bowl heater which are known to short out, is on the same circuit for the PCM. I hope that is all that it is... Most of the time it would not start? Might be an issue with the tuner connections? What type of tuner? Did you hear your fuel pump running?

No it still started, its all good now, I must have shorted something out when messing with the trip computer internals today, it's on the same circuit.. I have a superchips cortex tuner..
