Electrical has never been my forte. Wouldn't it at least attempt to start were that the case?

I never seen this, but could one bad coil cause a no start condition. Cylinder 5 to be exact. Usually it's just a dead miss

Yeah, it's a first for me. Lol. I started as a misfire then everything went to hell. Was getting 8 codes. Transmission and ignition related. Tuner was flashing red and my daughter started crying. Been raining since last night. Finally cleared up enough and that was the first fuse I checked. Low and behold, that cracked coil blew that fuse. Threw me for a loop because all of the codes were saying trans failure for the most part

I wonder what could cause that, coil driver failure? Just guessing here.

Very good question. Something definitely don't have an answer to. I inspected the other 7. They all look great. Gotta go pick up some more mini fuses though. Truck is running and purring like a kitten eating friskies
