Won't Start???
 

I have a 1992 7.3 that won't start. It runs great when it starts, but will not start everytime. Thinking electrical because it quite starting when I took the door panels apart to work on the power windows and door locks. Then we got it running again.. Then I took the dash apart to fix the dash lights, and it won't start again. Any ideas?

Does it crank, or is nothing happening at all

Glow plug controller working ?
positive on fuel ?
check all connections on Injection Pump ... check for ign power @ IP

It cranks just fine. Glow plugs are fine, has fuel in the lines. I let off the parking brake and it started. There is a wiring problem. I have been told something is probably crossed or a connection is bad or there is exposed wire. Not sure what to look for.

Probably having a cross when you press the brake, but that's strange for it to just happen. Was it doing this before?

I've only had it about a week now, so idk how long its had the issue. It's been starting fine all day now. There is a wire between the driver door and the dash/steering column somewhere.

Ok I think you need a wiring diagram about now .... :argh: ..... pull the kick panel at your left foot and start looking for wiring that is chafed and also look abve your steering column .... sounds like you may have a cracked dash frame ... I had this happen to a towtruck friend of mine ... ran us both in circles .... also whith ignition on ... make sure your getting power @ Ip ... try with E brake on and off ... start limiting what makes this phenominom happen .... post more when u can .... got me thinking over here .... might have to make a trip to cali to see this one LOL.... :humm:

I'd look for an open wire around the parking brake parts if it started when you let off of it
