So when I turn the key to the on position I get no dash lights or anything. Yet it will crank over all day long but not start. No lights work. Headlights won't come on, no dash lights, no gauges flinching or anything. it's like the only thing getting any hint of power is the starter. I'm thinking it's got to be a fuse or something. I looked at fuses but couldn't see anything blown. Any ideas on which fuse circuit to look at specifically as I'm sure I must be missing it? This just happened all of a sudden. Parked it one night and wouldn't start the next morning.

Thanks in advance.

The Body Control Module (BCM) controls most of what's giving you fits. It has 4 power sources: 15 amp fuse #14, 40 amp fuse #19, 40 amp fuse #20 and 20 amp fuse #24. maybe one or more has blown.

The IPM is infamous for corrosion problems. Check the connections on the bottom for any signs. It may come to disassembling it to verify there's nothing on the internal circuit board. Disconnect the negative battery cable before any connections.

 

This is an old thread, but any development on this?
I have the same problem on my '01 2.5TD, cranking not starting, all panel instruments are okay. only problem I identified was the hose conceting the air filter to the turbo had a rupture at the turbo connection. removed it and tried to operate but same result. there is a sensor connected to this hose..
tks

 

Are you Diesel and CRD. If you are Air filter to turbo hose is big bore and has MAF on it. Is this what your on about.

 

tks it's 2.5 TD, we are following on thread 'cranks no start'. Cheers
