Over the last 4 weeks or so the truck has blown the ignition run/acc 20 amp fuse twice. When this happens the ETC light comes on. Now, suddenly, the truck will not start, the fuse is fine, there is no fuel pressure, and I have to physically turn the key back to disengage the starter.
The truck has an immobilizer ignition receiver, but the solid red light comes on and goes back off when the key is turned on. I am told this means there is no problem with the immobilizer.
I replaced the ignition switch, aftermarket, (left side of the column), not the ignition lock cylinder. No change. I was thinking the lock cylinder could have worn but a locksmith told me that is likely not the case.
What would cause the ignition not to disengage other than the ignition switch or lock cylinder?
What would cause the fuel pump not to pump (in this case), other than a signal from the ignition switch or immobilizer to the PCM?
Thank you for your time
