Help Ty wont start

[Gbodydriver]

Ok this may sound crazy..


Here is my issue. I purchased a ALDL cable (serial type with cigarette lighter power lead). I was gonna to to datalog my truck so I hooked the ALDL up to the truck and the computer and plugged the power lead into the cig lighter. I went to start the truck and it wouldnt start. It will turn over but wont fire up. It seems as though the fuel pump isnt getting power. I also realized the horn isnt working.

Is there a chance that I blew a fuse with the power from the lighter? If so which fuse?

Has this happened to anybody else?

fuel pump and CLA are on different fuses. You should check both anyways...

I checked the fuses that are related but no luck. I think I'll start replacing the even though they look fine and see what happens..

Got it!! However I wouldnt have imagined that the HORN fuse would keep the truck from starting..

Thanks for the help.

The horn fuse should not keep a truck from starting.

Yeah seemed kinds wierd to me also. That same fuse waas linked to the foglights, interior lights, the rear hatch and the horn.. Those are all the things that I realized werent working with the fuse blown besides the truck not starting...

That fuse does manage the rear window release, horn, stereo, cig lighter, dome light, fog lights, but it should not disable the engine; I ran my Ty on Saturday with the horn fuse pulled. Like Vinny said there could be something extra wired into that fuse.
