Like, we replaced all your bad wiring as per the recall but the car won't start because you need etc..
The only words of wisdom I got out of these guys was & I quote "could be almost anything!"
No, the car was not running when I took it to them...I died on the side of the road and I had to use my trailer to carry it home. I tried to start it the next day and it was a no-go. If you looked under the hood for a reason your car won't start wouldn't bare wiring be a good place to start?
I'm certainly not trying to get on anyone bad side on this board but you made it sound like I was wrong to bother Ford because of there crappy wires. I have a 66' Falcon that is still running with the original wires 38 years after they were installed. There was absoutly no excuse for what I found under the hood of that car. I not saying that Ford is fully resonsible for all the problems this car has but at least it should have been in as good of condition as when I left it with them...i.e. the fuel pump working.
If you can suggest a better strategy please do, I'm at a loss hear this thing is driving me nuts.
Thanks for your input,

Alright your car wont start
- are all wires connected???
- is the battery good, did you test it???
- is the alternator good???
- Did you check to make sure all your fuses are good, fuel pump one would be a good place to start
- is your starter bad

did you also check your fuel pump cut off switch
