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?

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.
