Default Coolant freeze

Ok I made a very careless mistake. I didn't winterize my 2006 f-150 4.2 liter 2wd . When I realized my truck was frozen I immediately placed a space heater right in front of the radiator. Wasn't frozen solid by the way . Anyway once it was fully thawed , I tried to start it and it will not . Sounds as if there is no spark . Someone please tell me there is a easy solution?

Gonna have to park that girl in a heated garage for 24 hours to thaw out then you can winterize and give er a go.

If you haven't already done this then inspect the back side of the FPDM (Fuel Pump Driver Module) for corrosion and possible exposed circuitry. FPDM is located above the spare tire. Freezing weather and moisture may have damaged the circuitry.

Let us know what your solution turns out to be.

Sawtooth,Many, many of the posts in this forum (and others) are open ended. Problem stated, solutions suggested but no closure. Please post feedback that allows future readers to understand and consider your experience with the issue.
Thanks
