Engine turns but doesn't start
So today (11/25) I go to start the truck and the engine turned but would not fire up. I thought it might be out of gas, though it was showing 1/4 tank, so I added gas, no dice. Checked fuses and relays, all good. Battery was good.
We'll I ran errands in the other car and came back to check and it fired right up. I tried using both keys thinking the first might not be working but nothing worked.
2014 3.7 v6 32,XXX miles, no mods other than lift kit.
Any ideas?

Does your truck squat or was it sitting nose high? I know some people have said they had a problem when parking on an incline.

Check any wiring harness that goes by your exhaust. Might have an intermittent short.

I read that the fuel pump driver module had been at fault for this issue, but that was something that happened more frequently. This is the first issue I've had with my truck.
Have to wait and see what the dealer (two hour drive) had to say about the issue. Thanks again guys.

Just had this problem with my 2013 f150 work truck. Drove to the shop just fine. Tried to start it up to leave, wouldn't start. The fuel pump wasnt pressurizing. Fuse and relay were good. I was a bad battery, just a little low on voltage. For a week before, I was getting a battery save warning.
Replaced battery, started and ran fine.

Sorry for the late replies guys. I could not hear the pump running, but I don't recall hearing the pump when the trick was running fine.
The battery may be the issue, I believe is the original battery, but with 32k miles I woodcut think it to be the culprit.
Anyhow, I have had this issue a total of 5 times since I posted this. Today it happened again and hours later it still would not start.
I called ford and they said it's covered under warranty and a tow truck came and picked the truck up today. They will take it to the dealer and I'll have to wait to see if the dealer can reproduce the problem.
For now I'm stuck without mt truck!

Well the dealer called today and said the fuel pump driver module was bad. They said they ordered it and it should be in tomorrow. If it does come in tomorrow they will have it ready for pickup same day. I hope the part comes in.
