Pinpoint Test D: No Power In Start

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Ford Pickup, 2006 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2006 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2006 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. D1 CHECK THE VOLTAGE SUPPLY TO THE IGNITION SWITCH 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: Ignition Switch C250.
    • Measure the voltage between ignition switch C250, harness side, and ground as follows:

    • Are the voltages greater than 10 volts? 

    Yes  : GO to D2.

    No  : Verify that CJB fuse 103 (30A) is OK. If OK, REPAIR the circuit 1050 (LG/VT) for an open.

    Verify that CJB fuse 116 (30A) is OK. If OK, REPAIR the circuit 325 (DB/OG) for an open.

    TEST the system for normal operation.

  2. D2 CHECK CIRCUIT 16 (RD/LG) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Measure the resistance between ignition switch C250-1, circuit 16 (RD/LG), harness side and CJB C270c-4, circuit 16 (RD/LG), harness side.

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 

    Yes  : GO to D3.

    No  : REPAIR circuit 16 (RD/LG) for an open. TEST the system for normal operation.

  3. D3 CHECK CIRCUIT 1522 (DG) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Measure the resistance between ignition switch C250-5, circuit 1522 (DG), harness side and CJB C270b-8, circuit 1522 (DG), harness side.

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 

    Yes  : GO to D4.

    No  : REPAIR circuit 1522 (DG) for an open. TEST the system for normal operation.

  4. D4 CHECK THE IGNITION SWITCH 
    • Carry out the Ignition Switch Continuity Check.
    • Does the ignition switch test OK? 

    Yes  : REFER to STARTING SYSTEM - GASOLINE ENGINES or STARTING SYSTEM - DIESEL ENGINE to diagnose the starting system.

    No  : INSTALL a new ignition switch. REFER to IGNITION SWITCH . TEST the system for normal operation.
