Default help...fires up on accessory??

When I turn my truck on it fires up on accessories? I don't know what happened I changed my headlights ballasts and wire harness today, could I've blown a fuse if so which one would it be? To top it off...the drivers side headlight doesn't switch to high beam stays on low? Contacted Yukesretrofits to see if he can help troubleshoot because I purchased them from him. But help on either would be nice, thanks

I guess it's worth a try. I've stopped for the night before I get to aggravated.. but I will try that in the morning and see.

Does it just attempt to crank, or does it actually run?

Do you have a remote start installed? If so, aftermarket or ford?

If you keep having the problem, I'd start by taking that out or disabling it. I just went though a huge headache with mine. Every day or so my truck wouldn't start - had to unhook the battery to get it to crank. Removed the aftermarket remote start and no problems since. Just a thought.

Ok I will keep that for down the road if it gives me any more problems.
