Default 1999 ford f350 7.3 powerstroke won't crank the engine, HELP!!

man, I am late to work.
Do't know if I will make it today.

So my truck won't crank the engine. I got full electrical power every where, yesteday it started just fine. I plugged it in last night ( heater) and this morning will not start.
There is a recall for the Camshaft Position Sensor, so I am assuming this is the issue.
This is the 3rd. time it has happened to me, thankfully not while driving.
I usually move some of the plugs and get it to start.

any ideas where the CMP is located so I can move it a little bit?

by the way I check all ignition fuses and all other fuses and all are ok

Any other ideas?

I took it in to the ford dealer and indeed it was the Camshaft Position sensor, it has a recall so they fix it for $0.00.

i hear that if you show proof of buying a CPS before you took it in for the recall they will reimburse you the price you paid, that is if you kept the receipt of course.

Since there have been no updates in so long, I'm going to assume that the problem is fixed and am closing this thread. The thread can be re opened if needed.
