Dashboard lights wont go off and fuse box is making noises and driver side window won't work
sounds like you have a battery issue that is not allowing certain systems to function as intended. you also need to check the switch for the headlights by twisting it clockwise and back and forth to see if the contacts internally are corroded. there should also be a wheel right underneath that if you move it towards pass side it may allow the lights to turn off some have that option for a timer as to provide light for up to a 45 window to allow owner to get into under-lit houses navigate in the dark after the ignition is off please message me back and i will give you a call to walk you through the steps
Why wont my heat in my1997 ford f150 work
check coolant level and temperature of the heater hoses after the engine is at operating temp. the heater hoses should be the same temperature if not then the heater core is plugged and needs replacing. if the hoses feel the same temperature but not heat you may need to replace the thermostat. I am guessing the blower motor is functioning to blow air over the heater and into the cab.
The truck alarm won't shut off.Shifter locked in park
Under the center of the dash you will find two modules. They are for security. I can't remember which on to unplug. But I believe it is the one nearest to the steering column. Security should shut down and you can start the truck. If for some chance the truck doesn't start/run. Unplug the other and plug in the first.
1997 ford f150 4.2 ltr no power to spark plugs no power to fuel pump
I would check to make sure there is power to the ASD relay in the engine compartment fuse box. That relay controls the fuel pump relay and the ignition relay. It could also be that there is a corroded wire to that same ASD relay inside the fuse box. Make sure you check the wire harness also for corroded wires. I have fixed many F150s that have had these same problems.
Slips from Drive to neutral at 35 mph.
Check the fluid and its level. If fluid smells burnt then clutches inside are slipping if fluid is red and smells ok then you will need someone to diagnose it, possibly a shift solenoid not engaging the 3-4 shift.
