2004 Ford Escape No start?
I got a 2004 Ford Escape XLT 3.0 DOHC that will not even crank over.
Pulled out the starter relay and jumper it and the engine turns over and it will not turn over with the key. But does not start with the key left on.
Scan tool can't communicate with the ECU/computer.
No Fuel Pump Relay click or noise from fuel pump unless it was jumper with wire on the fuel pump relay socket.
Theft light comes on when the key is turned and goes off when left on for a few seconds.
Check for corrosion on the harness as specified by a TSB I found online. One is under the battery tray and the other on the driver side kick panel.
Swapped PCM relay with a cooling fan relay which has the same part number.
All fuses look fine even the high amp one under the hood.
I am stumped on whats wrong.

The Starter Relay is PCM controlled. Might be a good idea to concentrate on lack of communication first. It might even be a lack of power that is affecting both. DLC pin 16 should be 'live' at all times.
Let's not forget Park/Neutral switch or Clutch switch.

I jumpered the PCM relay, The Fuel pump Relay, And jumpered the starter momentary and it did not even start.
Still no communication with the PCM with the PCM relay jumpered and key on.
I even held the key to try to start when shifting to neutral and back to park.
Its like the computer went brain dead on me.
None of the relays click like they are supposed to when the key is turned. I know the fuel pump relay is supposed to click on for 3 seconds.
Its not even my vehicle. All I know is that he drove it to the driveway and shut it off for a few hours then to come back out to leave and it did this.
