88 f150 electrical no dash or ignition power

2009 Ford Escape tire pressure dash light came, all tire pressures are correct. When does light go off?

even the spare tire? Some vehicle look at all five tires.

A shop can use a tool and see if all the tire monitors are working and sending out a signal

Have you check your battery and try reset procedure.

Have you check your battery and try reset procedure.

If you had your tires rotated you need to reset your TPMS with a hand held computer that a Ford dealer ship should have. TPMS is for ( tire pressure monitoring system ) the TPMS will also show the tire light for low pressure.

On my 88 f150 man. Trans.4.9 was running OK but went to start it and nothing does not turn over no dashlights stereo blower motor all dead fused links all good so are fuses touched a hot wire to the power side of stereo and windshield wipers moved dashlights came on then the fuse blew in the panel battery is good headlight and dome lights work

you should go back and double check the fusible links. If you had to add power and things started to work before the fuse blew, that means you didn't have power there when you should have... check to see if you have battery voltage on the yellow wire going up to the ignition switch. If you have power at the yellow wire that goes up to the ignition switch but nothing powers up when you turn on the key, you have a bad switch. If you don't have power on the big yellow wire then you need to check the black fusible link. see if you have power on the wire after the fusible link goes into the wire harness.

Fuse link was good lost voltage after the harness passed the radiator replaced the wire and its all good

I have a Ford f150 4/4 xl 4.9 it won't start new battery new solonid new starter my problem is when I put the negative cable on the battery the positive wire makes a sizzling sound can you help

[carriedi]

what year is your truck?

a sizzling sound is usually an arcing situation somewhere. It could be dangerous around a battery. I don't know if you have a bad connection at the battery post or it could be inside the cable or you could have a bad battery but you should not connect the ground cable until you find out. Make sure you have the starter solenoid hooked up correctly.

It sounds like you replaced all the electrical parts in the starter side of the starting system. Now you need to see how the volt/amperage is moving through. Make sure the battery terminal and the battery cable connection are both clean and tight. You might want to try a new positive cable if cleaning the connections doesn't stop the sizzling sound. If the sizzling sound continues with a new cable get a new battery. do not drive or let it continue to run if the sizzling sound is there. Battery charging produces gasses that could be combustible and the sizzle sound could be voltage arcing. Together they could cause a fire or an explosion at the battery.

You could disconnect the positive battery cable from the starter relay solenoid, have it connected to the battery (after you clean the battery connection) and remove all the other battery connections that hook up to the same terminal on the solenoid. The put the battery cable on the relay first. then start putting on the other cables on and see if one of those wires starts to make the positive cable start to sizzle. If one does find out where that wire goes to. If you put all the wires back on and there is no sizzle go ahead and finish up connecting the relay and if there is no sizzle, see if the engine starts up. Don't be close to the battery when you go to start it up. (just in case)

let me know how it goes...
