I can jump it to make the fuel pump run. The relay and fuse are all good.There is power to the relay coil and ground with a meter to check it.I powered the relay off the battery to check it and it was good.In the book it shows that the ground is applied by the pcm.Is the a sensor of some sort that would keep this from happening.</description></item><item><title>1999 Ford F150</title><link>http://www.autotropolis.com/cs/forums/post/22841.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 04 Sep 2007 23:58:02 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">47d518e0-6f86-4bcb-9b63-62b215176eac:22841</guid><dc:creator>David V</dc:creator><description>My 1999 Ford F150 just blows cold air when you turn the heat on. would you possiblely know what is causing this to happen?&amp;nbsp;</description></item><item><title>My 95 honda civic will not start????...</title><link>http://www.autotropolis.com/cs/forums/post/22625.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 21 Aug 2007 22:14:14 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">47d518e0-6f86-4bcb-9b63-62b215176eac:22625</guid><dc:creator>jesse</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Ok my car has been running fine but all of a sudden it wont crank....&amp;nbsp;I have plenty of power so I know it isnt the battery or the alternator...&amp;nbsp; So then I push started it.. (it is a stick)&amp;nbsp; to go to the auto part store to get a new starter..&amp;nbsp; Well when i got there the man helped me out and said that it was not the starter because he took a wire and started it by wiring it from the battery to the starter...&amp;nbsp; He said it could either be the neutral safety switch or the key ignition switch... Im not very bright with cars....&amp;nbsp; I do not know where the neutral safety switch is on my car,&amp;nbsp; if someone could possibly help me by telling me or able to give me a sight where i could see the safety switch I would be extremeley grateful...&amp;nbsp; If you have other comments please let me know...
