    That how our SAE car is right now. last weekend it wouldnt start. had fuel and fuel pressure in the fuel rail and injectors worked, plugs were sparking....so our genius ginger solved the issue...there was no air in the room for proper combustion.

    however we got more air today so it fired right up

    I've tried what I can try. The ballasts are pretty corroded so I'm gonna order new ballasts from DDM, if that doesn't fix it I'll probably just light my truck on fire. So many problems.

    Apparently now my E brake basically imploded and is now rattling around and making me super mad. Gonna attempt to tear it apart and see what I can do... One thing after another. And my wheel bearings are shot so I'll do that soon. Cats still rattle on cold start. Still have to swap out that rounded off spark plug because I'm misfiring occasionally, :facepalm:

    Did you trouble shoot both relays with the multimeter? Also idk how it's run in your truck but typically the power going to the relay is fused so I would think there should be a fuse then a relay. Either under hood or dash or both

    and thats why I would never own an 04-05. too many first time issues. Im sure the truck is good but I hear a ton on stuff just flat out breaking, partially due to bad design. 10th gen ftmfw :rocking:

    I checked the manual and there's no fuse for fog lights only those two relays but now I gotta fix this E brake issue. I can live without fogs but this clanking is driving me insane

    Just take it off. You don't need an e-brake

    In TX you wont pass inspection without an e-brake.
