Disconnect your battery's neg terminal for 10 minutes and reconnect it, after you clear the fault codes once more with a fault code reader.

ignition switch

are you sure it is not brake lights pull the brake pedal up to make sure the switch is not out of adjustment if not brakes could be a bad daytime running light module.

bank 1 is on the same side cylinder 1 is on. its the passenger side front cylinder. there fore if you follow the exhaust on that side towards the rear the first sensor you come to is sensor 1, continue following the exhaust and the next sensor you come to is sensor 2.

Your best bet is to just do some extensive online searching... If the player brand has a website, and a customer service phone number, that would be your best option. Many times you can get replacement parts for any product if you can find a phone number to contact the company that manufactured it. if the product is very old, and is no longer made, it may not be possible... the best you can do is try... Hope that helps. :)

Bank one is the side with cylinder one, and sensor 2 is the O2 sensor after the catalytic converter.

I believe there is a cable which connects the handle to the latch, they are pron to breaking.

Turn the key on, and take a screw driver. Open the hood and on the passenger side just behind the battery, on the fender well, is the starter relay. it is a black unit with 2 bolts coming out! Cross your screw driver betewwn those 2 bolts. If your truck attempts to start, your relay is bad. if it just clicks again, good chance your starter is bad. Not necessarily the main unit. but the brushes, or solenoid. Autozone can test it for you.

Go to your Ford parts house and ask.

Try this diagram and hopefully it will help you out.

There can be several reasons. A lot of times people look at the spark side of the problem and forget that fuel injectors also must work. The firing signal comes from the crankshaft sensor, then both the spark and fuel get a signal to fire. When 2 adjacent cylinders miss, it can be a head gasket or the coil pack. I see that this problem is 7 months old so you have probably fixed it.

Root cause is a leaking head gasket or intake gasket.

If it is a standard transmission, It probably doesn't have one. It may have one for the engine oil but most ford F150 pickups only have a cooler for the automatic transmission.

something shorted of wire rubbed thru on something,snap on made some ammeters which you simply held over the wire you wanted to test and it told you how many amps was flowing in that wire. barring that disconnect all wires going to this fuse and then attach them one at a time until you find the one that blows it

It sounds to me like it could be a blow fuse. Locate your fuse panel and check to see if there are any burned fuses. Simple and cheap fix. The only other thing I can think of is that there may be a short in your electrical system somewhere in your dash. The relay for the map lights and the hood lights go from the fuse box and up through the dash. Check the fuses first. If those are fine, the only real way to diagnose it is to take it to a mechanic who specializes in wiring and electric in cars. Hope that helps.
