My 07 XLT 4WD: Long short story, driving along and motor quits. Pull over, put in park, start truck and drive away. About 2 miles later, same thing only now it just cranks. Get out, check under hood for anything obvious. Get in and it starts right up! Close the hood, get on the highway and about 4 mile down she quits again. This time the PATS light is flashing and no odometer reading. Towed it home. Checked all fuses/relays, had power in at the PCM, grounds all checked out, so it had to be the computer. Took PCM in to be checked and was told it 'f fried and is not repairable. Ordered a new PCM, had it programmed an all, put it in and now I get my odometer, no PATS light flashing but still no crank! I end up pulling a P1260 which I was told is because the PATS unit is not married to the PCM. So, I get me a 2-day license for the FJDS (Ford J2534 Diagnostic Software) and reprogram EVERYTHING! No I have no DTC present but still no crank. If I jump out the starter relay it cranks. I checked the trans range sensor and it's good. Pulled the PDB under the hood and checked for corrosion but it was minimal; not the issue. What else could there be? This is driving me crazy. Next step is to tow it in to the dealer and pay more than the truck is worth to get it fixed!
