1987 Ford F-150 Electrical Problem

  • 1987 FORD F-150
My '87 F150 has a 5.0 V6 with 160,000 miles and a manual 4-speed. While sitting at a light, my truck stopped running and everything shut off - lights, radio, etc. I have checked the alternator, battery, starter, and solenoid and they are all fine. I replaced the ignition switch, but it did not help. I do not have power to anything in the truck, it is like I don't even have a battery in it. From what I have found, I think it is the ignition module, but would like to get an experts opinion.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks and God Bless!

It does sound like an ignition module to me as well before you replace it run a jumper wire for your positive connections and see if u get any power to anything if u do its the module I also see this problem with a bad neutral saftey switch in ford cars

Shameless,

Thank you for your reply and advice. Could you give me a little more details on how to check to see if I get power by installing a jumper? I am not sure where to hook up the jumper. Also, what can I do to check my neutral safety switch?

Thanks again!
