    I know this is old but my wife's 2009 escape hybrid was doing this intermittently dying at stops in cold or rainy weather and I found this video after weeks of troubleshooting. Checked both fuse #5 and #29 and found them oxidized, replaced them both and have had no issues in a week.....BOY I WAS SWETTING HAVING TO GET THE PCM REPLACED. Thanks buddy you may have saved me a bunch of money.😁😁

    Thank you for what you guys do! My car just quit in the middle of town and indicated the PCM issues and I watched your video. Fuse 5 was pretty corroded, and I replaced with the spare 10A fuse from the passenger compartment (spot 33) and it did the trick. I have a 2009 Ford Escape.

    Hi Brian, nice video, very clear and easy to follow. I have a 2009 Ford Flex, hoping you can help me get it running again. The battery died when the liftgate remained open all night. My husband replaced the battery but the car still will not crank. Does not turn over at all. Lights all come on and the anti theft icon flashes normally not at hyper speed. I have tried to reset key fobs with online instructions without success. Any ideas or suggestions on what else it could be? Today when I entered the car there were 4 icons illuminated including the battery, the engine, oil and seatbelt. They were lit up even though I had not put key in ignition or attempted to start car. Later they went out but upon entering the car again, they light up and the engine light started blinking for a few seconds then became solid lit.

    I really appreciate what you are doing for others, your instructions helped me find out why my 2009 Escape would not turn over, you really did! as I concentrated on your instructions about "Grounds" I did as you instructed, my fuses were not blown, PCM checked out OK, Plenty of battery power, so I checked for other grounds before the PCM and guest what, there it was right before my eyes some little animal had got into my engine compartment and chewed right through the 2 ground wires on the back firewall, after finding this it took 15 minuets to fix, and my Escape started like a champ. the ground wires are easy to find because it's located right by the P.C.M. 1 jumper feeding 2 separate grounds, The nice thing about this fix the cost = 0.00 Dollars. Thanks

    Thank you , my Ford Escape Hybrid 2010 with 354000 miles wouldn't start this morning, all the symptoms you show on your video I had. I followed your instructions and the first thing I did was to check the fuses, Fuse 29 was OK but Fuse # 5 was not. I replaced Fuse #5 (10amp) and my Escape was able to start. I plugged in my scanner to check for error codes but it only says lost connection to pcm and no codes are stored. The scanner connects well and it reads the pcm but no error codes. My Escape starts fine and no problems so far, I wonder what causes the fuse to blow out, I think maybe after 8 years and over 300000 miles something had to give. I don't smell electric short where you said to check, so if in case the problem comes back what do you suggest is causing it. Thanks again for your video it saved me from a expensive tow truck to the mechanic and who knows how much more to fix it. I have to say the Escape is an excellent car, I never had hybrid problems nor electric problems, the engine, transmission radiator,evaporator, condenser are still the original parts. I have changed the ABS module and of course axles, control arms, bushings, steering wheel assembly struts, shocks. What can I say I love my escape

    Quick question, any insight would be super helpful!!! I have an 08 F350, was a 6.4 but I am finishing up a cummins conversion. I hooked the engine harness and batteries back up, and inserted the key and PATS locked down. I realized that I failed to connect the engine harness to the body harness that includes the CAN bus wires. I also failed to reconnect the engine bay fuse box ground back up. I believe my failure to do these two things caused the PATS lock. I have covered all bases and every ground is connected, body harness on driver spring tower is connected properly, trailer control harness all undamaged, etc. When I turn key in ignition, the cluster shows the actual miles as well. Still have the consistent rapid flash security light. I think I am back to normal, but I need to get the PATS unlocked. Is there any way to do this without hauling the truck to a dealership? Thanks!

    Hey I know this is an old video, but I'm having a similar problem in my daughter's Mariner & I'm wondering what you think.... She has the 4-button Key fob with the attached blade. If the key goes into the ignition with the buttons facing the driver, the theft light flashes & it rarely ever starts. If the key goes in the ignition with the buttons toward the windshield, it starts just fine. I tried to program some new keys with Forscan but that didn't work (maybe because I bought them on amazon instead of a key shop?)

    I have a 2009 Ford Taurus X. The anti-theft light is flashing slowly (like it was in the beginning of the video). I pulled the ignition fuse (because that's what I saw online in forums before I came to youtube) but it looks in tact. If the light is flashing slowly would it still be the PCM? Also, is this common to go w/o warning? I went to the car wash 3/11 and on 3/15 it didn't start (maybe it means nothing). Under the hood is pretty clean as well...I don't see any corrosion.Thanks in advance for your help and the great video!

It seems to me that that fuse is susceptible to corrosion. Took awhile to dig the leg out and clean up the contact but that did it. Thanks again.

I followed this same procedure and all other pins tested working including the relay for the pcm. But still no power to those two pins even with a jumper. Any idea where to look. Car has a no start no crank and pats light is flashing fast. Was in a accident but went through it before hand just can’t get it to get a communication signal from the pcm to the cluster or obd2 port. They are pins 67-68 on the plug closet to front end.

I watched your video 3 times and based on what your troubleshooting showed, I disagreed with Ford. They wouldn't troubleshoot any further until I agreed to replace the instrument cluster. So I took the car to a different shop (not Ford) and they too said it was the instrument cluster, however they agreed to replace the PCM since I was paying for it. They were surprised that the PCM solved the problems. I wanted to say thanks to you for a really excellent video that has been extremely useful and has saved me a lot of cash. Good job.

    2005 ford escape v6 3.0 all started with a misfire, replaced PCM, aftermarket coil pack and sparkplugs. And now sometimes anti theft light flashes and it won't turn on and if it does drives for 10 or 15 minutes and then the overdrive light will be flashing and the transmission will not shift or shift very hard at high rpms. Do you think that the after market coils are causing all this trouble?

    My 08 Escape XLT had this once a couple of months ago, but then it sort of self-corrected when I got it started and let the lights in the cluster, odometer and tachometer cycle on and off several times. Then the vehicle was drivable with no issues for about 7-8 weeks. Then last week, it all happened again and I couldn't get it to self-correct. Since you suggested that about 90% of the time, the problem is a corroded PCM, I decided to order a refurbished unit that comes programmed to my VIN. Once it arrives, I'll still have to have a locksmith reprogram my keys. Hopefully, this will correct the problem.

I looked at #5 and there appeared to be charred damage. barely noticeable, but there. I put a new 10 amp fuse in and the car started right up. I'll have to rewatch video to figure out why it blew. my pcm shows some corrosion similar to video, but not as extensive. regardless, this video saved me a lot of time and money. the two things most lacking in my life. btw, I found some replacement pcms on-line for ~$200-$300. I think replacement pcm will have to be programmed to my fobs...

    Hello brother, I have the same problem with my truck. I have a Ford escape limited 2012. before yesterday I went to try to change the battery I removed the battery and I went to buy a new one.I put the new battery turned on but in a second it was turned off again turned on and turned off every time I turn it on I see a padlock flashing on the screen. I think it is anti-theft system.

    Im getting a PATS code 15 with 1 key & a PATS code 16 on the other key. Everything tests good going by the video. If I remove the center plug off the "Steering: Electric power assist system" I can the get the starter to engage & the engine will run for about 3 seconds every time i try to start the engine (I think PATS is stopping the injectors). I can keep the engine running on starting fluid. Neither method notices any input from the throttle/gas peddle. Any thoughts/incite????????????????

    Hello. I've watched your video and tried everything you suggested including the jump wire. I heard the "throttle" kick on as you said when I plugged in the pcm. However, I still have the issue of the security lock light flashing rapidly when I try to start the vehicle. The miles to empty is calculating correctly. When I turn the key fully to attempt to start the 2009 Escape, all it does is click loud enough for me to hear it inside the truck. Just a simple click. Sounds like its coming from the area of where the pcm is in the firewall, but I could be wrong. Please....any help or suggestions?? Don't have a lot of $$ to work with. I appreciate Your help. Thank You so very much.

    Good video! I have checked & replaced some of the relays and fuse to be on safe side. Plus when I checked the PCM module it was very dirty just like you show on the video. And I went to my local ford motor company parts and they told me I have to order PCM module on O'Reilly because they told me they don't carry older PCM module for older vehicles like 2009 I have. So a replacement PCM module came in 2 months ago. Sometimes I do 50/50 parts replaced by my self or by the dealer. Does Crankshaft position sensor have anything to do with not crank or start, I know everything is power by PCM from the battery.

    I know this is an old question now, but the PCM is super easy to install. Its literally the 2 bolts, one on each side, and the 3 large connectors you see in this video. It just slides right out. The problem is that the PCM needs to be programed to the rest of the car, which requires Ford computers. The other issue is that you can't find these PCMs new, manufactured, or anything outside of the dealership or scrap yards. If you get a PCM from a scrap yard, you still have to get the dealer to program it, and they may be unwilling to do so, it really depends how nice they want to be.

This problem happens not all the time. Did notice when this issue is present the blowermotor will delay coming on. Ford dealer not sure why.
