Default Ignition problem Ford freestar

2004 Freestar died in the rain. No spark to the plugs. replaced coil and Crankshaft sensor and still no spark.
Put test light on Connector to coil and the Red wire has power, but other three will not light the light when turned on, or Cranked.

Any ideas?

Signal goes from crank sensor to PCM, to ign module then to coil. Sounds like it could be ign module or PCM.

Those modules don't come cheap. Would advise having vehicle checked by someone with proper equip before spending anymore $.

Rest assured your Ford dealer has it.

no offense, but if I wanted Ford to diagnose it for 500.00 I wouldn't have taken the time to post on here. I thought the whole purpose of these boards are to share knowledge and wisdom and not shill for the dealer

I agree with you ! However, when you realize what you're dealing with, is it not wiser to get the job done with the right equipment. Speaking for myself , you can't keep throwing money at a problem hoping it will go away. If every time someone said change this or that they are spending your hard earned $ and there are no guarantees. There just are some diagnosis that cannot be made over the internet.
