2008 fird escape tried to bypass the fuel relay now I have no power to the ignition or anything I was trying to drain the tank by making the pump run
Mechanic's Assistant: Is the power loss consistent, or does it fluctuate?
Consisttent weird it ran before but my daughter put diesel in it so I was draining it I jumped the relay now it is completely dead except the dome light
Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Escape yourself? What have you tried so far?
Thats it jumped the relay and now no power is there an ignition fuse or ecm fuse
Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you?
No just jumped the relay and now no power so I am wondering what fuse etc I might have popped because it makes no sense

Hello and welcome to Just Answer. My name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I will the expert to assist you this evening. I'm sorry to hear you're having issues with your Ford. I know how frustrating it can be. Because I am not there nor am I aware of your level of automotive expertise I may need to ask questions in order to provide the best possible service.
You mention you jumped the Fuel Pump relay and now you have nothing except the Dome Light. Do any accessories work at all? Radio? Windows ?(if power) [Brake](/topics-brake-ford/) Lights or Tail Lights?

OK, you already have the layout. Which Diode has power?

Based on what you've told me it sounds like the relay may have been jumped backwards resulting in a dead short to ground. It is possible you have a damaged ECU. Do you have access to a DVOM? (Digital Volt Ohm Meter) and a Scan Tool?

OK, without knowing what Control Units are on and talking to each other and not knowing what codes are in which modules makes it very hard to diagnose. I can only suggest you start by checking all fuses to ensure they're good. Start with the Fusible Links under the hood. Check the Battery to ensure those Cables are all intact and there is no damage.

How can jumping a small relay damage a bater cable? They are good. When I checked the pcm for power it had no power to the appropriate slots
DanielP121

Because you're allowing 12 volts to go straight to ground bypassing the load. With the electronics in today's vehicle a Short to Ground can damage multiple circuits and control units.
And it may be nothing more than one of the Fusible links.

Ok well I don't know where they are all atIf the pcm is shot can I get one from pick a part and put it in?I watched a bideo on checking the pcm and I did not have power to it.

OK, must have power to the PCM. Try checking "A & B" also check fuse #5 and #35. Let me know the results. Good luck!
