Question I have a wrecked 97 f150, had to switch cabs, unhooked all wiring but all replaced on new cab, cranks but won't start. How do you reset the computer? Thanks.
Answer If you switched computers, steering columns, or any other related component, you will need to visit a Ford dealer, or find a shop with a scan tool capable of programming the key to the computer.
Provided everything is connected and grounds are good, this may be the problem.
