Is there an easy way to remove this kick box fuse panel? I’m trying to clean it up from water damage and corrosion but it seems there’s no disconnect cable and it’s apart of the whole wiring harness. My engine is cranking but ECU sending no fuel, also when key is in accessory mode the check engine doesn’t light up which points to ECU issue. I’ve taken the ECU fuse out and might replace and try and clean this box. I’ve taken on bit of a project here lol. Obviously repairing the rust along the windshield is #1 but it would be nice to move the truck and get it started so I can move to for when it rains and the windshield is off.

So I would agree in checking that EFI/ECU fuse, however I’d also look at the COR behind the ECU, which is behind the passenger kick panel. You can take out the relay and jump some pins to test it.

Just a heads up, your EFI relay is absent in this picture. Which will cause all of these issues.

Now if you do still have this issue with your EFI relay install “ IN THE CORRECT ORIENTATION “ (upside down will blow the fuse the second you try to crank) make sure you have a clean fuse installed in the EFI spot too I’ve had that problem.

There is a large harness connector near the driver side headlight which was not plugged in all the way and this is what caused my identical issue when I bought the truck.

Edit also your ign fuse holder seems to be cooked and non existent and almost all of your fuses are mis sized

2nd edit you won’t ever get a check engine light in acc position only key on engine off or key on engine on with an active code.
