I have a 2000 F250 that the wait to start light will not come on, and the truck will not start either. Also the check engine light just blinks on for a second and goes out??? Anybody run into this before?

 

did you chech glow plug relay also check grounds

 

i had this happen a few month ago...i changed my oil and filter. when i went to crank it it wouldnt turn over and there was no "wait light". dont know if it was coincidence or not but i turned key on (not crank) and pumped the fuel pedal a few times and held it down for about 10 seconds....kept it held down and turned ignition to off. let go of pedal...waited about 10 seconds....turned it to on and the wait to start light came on....and the truck crunk right up.

this happend two or three time ove the next couple of days and after following this process the truck started up. Maybe coincidence but it worked for me...

let me know how it works for you.

 

LOL... What the hell brough you to that...

So you have no WTS light and a SES light...

What if any mods do you have? Chipped? programer?

 

The ses light will always turn on for a sec when you turn ignition on

 

neighbors dad suggested it after i tried getting it started for a couple of hours....like i said...dont know if it was just coincidence but it worked two or three times?

 

Sorry I dont know the fuse number, but one of the 30 amps fuses for the fuel bowl heater will blow when the heater shorts out and cause a no start with no wait to start light. If you have a blown fuse, unplug the heater at the fuel bowl and replace the fuse.

 

GOOD CALL!!!

I completely forgot about that damn fuel bowl heater. Good thing I deleted the damn thing!

 

I have checked out the glow plug relay and it is fine. The truck is now stalling while driving down the road. It is like you just turned off the key...definitely act some sensor is bad, but not sure which one. Once it dies, if I turn the key off and back on and wait for about a minute the wait to start light comes on and it starts right up. Thanks for all the suggestions

 

Sounds like a crank position sensor. There was a recall on these if you havent already had it done. And the gray ones have been known to give problems, thankfully I havent had any problems out of mine.
