I also sent him with the pack of fuses incase it happened again. I didn't have access to the dealership parts department to get a relocation kit however I did replace the fuse and everything was fine again. In any case, I thought of PowerStroker in this instance, figured he must have seen this before and if so - what his thoughts were. Some are saying it could be the module under the tire, some say (myself included) that a wearing pump could be contributing to it, others are saying (myself included) that the gauge of the connection for this type of circuit may be too small to transfer the heat. I only say this because this seems to be a well known issue with this particular year and model of F150 I have no doubts that a bigger surface and connector area of a maxi fuse would have prevented this problem. Of course the pump could be drawing more amps at it's age of just 220+k miles, and one would have thought a maxi fuse would have been used on such a circuit, however given the fact it is the fuel pump, it's possible they were just being abundantly cautious. Reading up on the issue I gather that Fords has made a fuse relocation kit for this in the instance it melts all the way down and the contacts are missing.įrom my years of experience, I would imagine the load of this circuit (fuel pump) is such that the heat and such relative small size of these newer maxi fuses and their contacts, that over time it just melts them away from the heat. Upon replacing fuse #27 in the engine compartment fuse box (just above the radiator) the truck runs fine now.
Come to find out fuse number #27 was burn up, looked like prolonged exposure to heat.

On the other hand, if metallic contamination is found, the fuel injection pump, fuel injectors, and fuel filter will be replaced, and the fuel system will be cleaned and flushed at no charge. Ford says that dealers will inspect those vehicles, and if no metallic contamination is found, they will replace just the fuel injection pump and associated parts.

If it stalls while the Transit is in motion, there's no way to restart the vehicle, which would increase the risk of a crash. Ford says that metallic contamination may cause the pump to fail, and as with recall #1 above, that could result in the engine not starting or possibly stalling.
This recall is limited to vehicles equipped with 3.2-liter diesel engines and stems from a problem with the fuel injection pump.
UNITS AFFECTED: 2,013 in the U.S., 457 in Canada That, in turn, could increase the risk of injury to passengers-though Ford notes that it hasn't learned of any injuries linked to the problem.įord says that the fix involves updating the power window system software.
