btw, i found out that the red flashing key is somekind of antitheft mark.

Anyone dealed with this before? Most probably why it wount start i think?

hm... geez i give up!

Tryed to call ford today, they cant take care of the car before end of next week! thats just f#Â¤%& unacceptable!!

Ive disconnected the batteries yester day! plugged in again!

Connected the flasher unit, booting up. Pressing performance tune, accepting, after 5sec, i get this message

UNABLE TO RECEIVE CONTACT WITH VEHICLE TYPE(1). What does that meen?
i still have the red key flashing (antitheft) in my dash, and no WAIT TO START light.

Is there somekind of antitheft system in my car that has locked down the whole shit?
i cant enter anything with the flasher.

How can i get around this? what can i do? This all started 2 days ago after i entered the 110BHP tune.
before that ive been driving the 85BHP for 3 weeks without any problems!

If the truck simply decided not to start and you did not flash it since it last started, it is not related to the Predator tunes.
Its tough to determine what is the cause of the issue.

BTW, is is possible to do something wrong with the flasher?! Only thing i KNOW i have done is reading and deleting trouble codes while driving, never tuning . just when standing still.

Is it possible to find the ORIGINAL backup file somewhere for this car? maby mine is damaged some how?...

Hm.. So far it works well. but i think that all of my problems come cuz of the FUSEBOX.

anyone here ever been into that problem before..? i can drive the car.. park it. and after turning it off, i cant start it!!

if i hit the fusebox once or two times, i can... Bad contact somewhere!?

Sounds like you could have some bad relays and/or a bad fuse box.
