1995 bronco xlt 5.8l auto

A few days ago my battery died at work.
I got jumped and the guy mishandled the cables taking them off, still connected to my rig.
I needed another jump. I made it home fine. Next day it wouldn't turn over, and usually at the run position on the ignition
I would get a charge sound before start.
I tested all fuses inside and exterior. Solenoid is fine. Ground and battery terminals fine. Battery has juice.

Would this be more of a fusible issue.
Fuel pump. Ecc?
What is front line first to go after dropped jumper cables Any advice ??
Diagrams or info for fusible links or fuel lines?

Yo zalkins,
Welcome to our Bronco site!
Generally, anything with a power diode is ruined, and the starter relay has one. So do the clock, radio, & several other modules, but they're fuse-protected, so start by checking all the fuses. Your owner's manual shows where they are.

See alternator tests @ http://www.diesel-dave.com/vehic/manual/stj/stje0007.htm#extract_1399

ASAP, find out if speed control recall work, if equipped was completed. If you still have concerns about Recalls, please contact the Ford Customer Relationship Center:
US: 800-392-3673 | CA: 800-565-3673
Note: 3673 spells "FORD" on phone keys
For the hearing- or speech-impaired: Please contact the Telecommunication Relay Service by dialing 71
"Summary: ON CERTAIN PICKUP TRUCKS, PASSENGER VEHICLES, SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, AND MOTOR HOMES CHASSIS, THE SPEED CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH MAY, UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, LEAK INTERNALLY AND THEN OVERHEAT, SMOKE, OR BURN. THIS COULD RESULT IN AN UNDERHOOD FIRE."

So an update for ya fellas. Sorry for the delay. The short went deep into the fuel pump. I ended up cutting a panel and replacing the pump, and a few butt connectors. Nothing...... so I hotwired a switch for the moment.

Soo. few issues happened. The pump... I pulled the old float from the old pump and a yellowish wire to the board inside the sender module broke off right on the Solder contact. Pump works great but I can't find Just the sender module that attaches to pump anywhere. Just the whole pump again.
Issues:
1)so now my fuel gage is toast. And stays on the right. ^^
2) my amber indicator lights under the headlights will not turn off. I have to disconnect the negative terminal to turn off exterior lights under thet headlights.
3) instrument panel light went out. (Ac/speedom/gas/rpm etc....) stereo and glove box are good.

Thoughts?

Yo Zalkins,
Repair; "...As much of an improvement as the FDM system was over the previous EFI pump system, it's still subject to failures, mostly related to fuel varnish building up on its internal surfaces. When it builds up in the level sender, it causes the gauge to peg FULL, as any open circuit would (high resistance). If diagnosis shows the fault to be inside the tank, the sender can sometimes be cleaned & returned to service for a fraction of the cost of a new sender. In either case, a new O-ring is required between the pump mounting plate & the tank. Instructions for removing the FDM can be found in this album's captions..." READ MORE by Clicking Next

When the key is turned to RUN, the following warning lamps will prove out by momentarily lighting.

  • safety belt
  • charging system
  • air bag
  • brake system
  • anti-lock brake
  • check engine lamp
Printed Circuit

The instrument cluster printed circuit (10K843), which supplies current to the instrument panel indicators, gauges, and some clocks, is made of copper foil that is bonded to a polyester base film (usually referred to as Mylar®).

The instrument cluster printed circuit is mounted to the cluster housing and, due to its location, cannot be easily inspected or tested in the vehicle. This makes the instrument cluster printed circuit vulnerable to damage when a probe is used for in-vehicle testing as the probe can pierce the instrument cluster printed circuit or, in some cases, burn the copper conductor.

Since there is no approved procedure for in-vehicle testing of the instrument cluster printed circuit, it must be removed for visual inspection. If no visual damage is evident, each circuit should be tested with an ohmmeter. If an open circuit or short is detected, the instrument cluster printed circuit must be replaced.
