F150....Ya'll won't believe this!!!
So I posted up several weeks ago about how my truck died and wouldn't start. I tried everything, traced the entire starting system and ya'll gave me some great advice as to what to check/ do (THANK YOU)...........Well I never did get it started so I traded it this weekend for some computers that we really needed...........I found out this morning (he towed it off last night) that there is nothing wrong with my truck........There was a KILL SWITCH in the ASHTRAY!!!! I didn't even know it was there, and the worst part is that my husband knew about it but never thought to mention it to me, because he didn't think that that could be the problem. So I had "fixed" my truck it was runnin' and I just didn't know it.......So now somehow I feel like I failed.

That had to be an aftermarket add on. Someone had installed an anti-theft device and you didn't know it?
