I traded cars with my wife so she could take our 6 kids home. Towed the vehicle to a Ford dealership who diagnosed a faulty fuel pump control module. Said this happens a lot.

I planned to take it to a dealership to get it checked out but the next day but the vehicle would not start. I attempted to jump-start but the battery was at full voltage. I had the vehicle towed to the dealership and they diagnosed the car.
