I am having trouble with my 2001 F-150. Starting yesterday it would not start. At 1st i thought it wa the battery, so i took it off, charged it, put it back in the truck and still no start.

After plugging it back in, and connecting the battery, the truck still wont start and there is a clicking sound coming from the dash near the radio. Rhis is my work vehicle!!!

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: PCM 30 Amp Fuse Blowing

Why the 30amp PCM fuse located in the under dash panel would blow. Problem started while truck was running and a simple replace of the fuse would it it back alive again. Now fuse is blowing at ignition on. Truck is 1997 F250 LD.

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: FX4 - Fuse 23 Keeps Blowing

I am having trouble with fuse 23 under the hood blowing while driving. I have read several threads on this issue but still no luck. I have removed all 4 02 sensors and ac relay and still about 1/4 mile down the road the fuse blows, and is giving the shift solenoid A shift solenoid B and the torque converter clutch solenoid electrical circuit. I have checked both plugs on the trans, I even dropped the pan and ohmed the solenoids out. I dont know what else to do?

Ford Wiring/Electrical :: 2001 F350 - No Turn Signals When Start The Truck - Fuse 1 Keeps Blowing

2001 F-350 diesel. Out of nowhere, I start the truck and there's no turn signals. Fuse is blown so I replace it. It immediately blows. Tail lights work. No turn signal, brake lights, or hazards. I haven't hooked up a trailer or done anything abnormal recently. Only the #1 fuse (20Amp) is blown. Pulled bulbs and they work fine. Inspected wiring under and near lights. NOTHING! Any way to localize a short?

Ford 6.0L Power Stroke Diesel :: 2003 F250 - Truck Started Blowing Fuse 45

I have an 03 6.0 F250. My truck started blowing fuse #45 and it would kill my gauges (fuel, oil, mph, rpm, temp, trans temp, and odometer) and I was just replacing the fuse and putting off the repair.

However, the most recent time my gauges blew, the fuse did not, and I put in a 20 amp fuse, in hopes that it would not blow so quickly, bad idea. So naturally, I ordered a new shift lever, in hopes that it would fix the gauges and I wouldn't have to deal with it anymore, but I think it was too late and something else needs to be replaced. What I could possibly have blown by having a larger fuse in there?

Ford 7.3L Power Stroke (1999-2003) :: Truck Started Blowing Fuse 8 Under The Hood

Need to diagnose this before I start ripping wires:

Truck started blowing the # 8 fuse under the hood tonight (15 amp #8 - trailer tow electronic brake illumination, park lamps, trailer tow park lamp relay coil fuse) which also controls the dash board lights (can't see gauges at night) and the tail light lights (brakes lights work) are out too. Figure I have a short somewhere.

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: Fuse Blowing Down Every Time Overdrive Tries To Engage

My 2002 f150 blows the overdrive fuse (#29) every time the overdrive tries to engage. Could it be the overdrive switch? Where is that switch? Could it be a speed sensor? Truck has an automatic transmission and a 5.4 engine.

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: No Crank / No Start - Relay In The Fuse Box In Dash Clicking

I have a 98 f150 Lariat 4wd Automatic with a 2000 4.6. When i turn the key the only thing that happens is i hear a relay in the fusebox in the dash clicking. I can cross the starter relay on the firewall with a screwdriver and itll start right up. Heres what ive done troubleshooting wise.

1. Checked battery terminals. Fine, it will start with jumping the relay so it seems good with that regard.
2. Tested the relay per the manual. Good.
3.Ohms Tested the white ignition switch box under the dash per manual. Good
4. Voltage tested the Trans Range Sensor per manual. Good.
5. Checked over all fuses, none blown.
6. No theft lights come on.

I figure since it will start jumping the relay that the battery, starter, and starter solenoid are all good. Only thing i cant seem to find is the Starter Interrupt Relay, or any sign of fusible links on the main battery cables. I am really at a loss here i figured one of the components ive tested would be it.

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: 2000 XLT - No Start - Two Relays And One Fuse Under The Hood Missing

Have a problem with starting. Truck had an alarm system that I took off. Reconnected the wires back to factory. Installed a new battery-starter cable. Checked and had no radio and no power windows. Found two relays missing and one fuse under the hood missing. Installed new. Tried again and have all accessories but will do nothing when turning key to start. With key on I can jump across solenoid by starter and it will start. Once started it will not allow me to shift out of park. If I shut truck off and turn key to on position I can shift out of park and into neutral and jump across solenoid and it runs. Once I shift back into park it kills the truck and we start all over again. I've traced wires and fuses and can't find anything. 2000 f150 xlt 4x4 5.4l....

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: Intermittent Fuse Pressure - 20 Amp Fuse Wiggling

I was having intermittent fuel pressure problems. I replaced fuel pump and relay and was still having the problem. A figured out that wiggling the 20 amp fuse would cause the intermittent. Looking at the connections for the fuse, I can see one side was damaged. I figured I could pull the connector out from the back and fix the connector, but when I took the back off (see picture) I have a purple wire (labeled 1) going to one side of the fuse and a multi-connector (labeled 2) from one wire going to the other side. My luck, it's the multi-connector side that is damaged.

It Looks like the multi-connector goes to the Black and yellow wire. Instead of replacing the box, I figured I could just create an inline fuse for the fuel pump with the purple wire and splice it into the Black/yellow wire.

I can't see any problem with this, just looking for a second opinion. And I'm not sure how it would effect the relay. I can't find a fuse panel wiring diagram anywhere.

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: White Smoke Blowing At Start Up

I have an 01 f-150 4.6 triton and it now blows a sometimes pretty big ploom of white smoke at start up. Sometimes it smokes for a while after that and sometimes not. It runs smooth and strong but I have no clue what to do...

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: Start Blowing White Smoke Out Of Exhaust?

2002 F350 7.3PSD, lariat 4x4 dually , 212k miles, automatic, crewcab, bone stock other than k&n filter in factory air box.

Bought the truck from used dealer with 168k miles on odometer. Drove it for two months and the radiator started filling with diesel. Had injector cups replaced. Had new o-rings on injectors and valve cover harness (both sides) at this time. While in shop they wanted to put injectors in truck but limited funds haulted that. Got the truck back and drove it for a while and noticed that when starting the truck it had a miss till it warmed up, but went away. This has been going on for over a year, but now has gotten much worse. Over the past year it has gone from slight miss to a full on dead cylinder that you have to make the truck pick up as you drive it. If you leave it sitting for more than roughly 10-12 hours you have to plug it up or it has trouble starting.

The final push from this ole girl was the other day. Left for work, normal hiccups and such from the truck. I pull up to a stop light and notice the truck is not sounding like its running correctly. No biggie it will smooth out, or so i think. I head towards work and the farther i get from home the worse it runs...

It wont pull its own weight, barely creeping at times. So i stop and check all my normals(oil mainly... just replaced hpop fittings and o-rings) and add fuel to it to get it over half tank. Start truck, still missing. Pull out on highway and dump foot to floor. It takes off only to fall on its face and start blowing white smoke out exhaust and die. It starts back but apparently I pissed it off cause from there it only got worse!!! It done that all the way to work, one time being so bad i had to stop and let traffic go by as the smoke cleared the roadway.

I get to work and check oil and it was way low. I add oil and drive it to lunch and it runs good, no hiccups misses or anything. Yay, problem solved!!! WRONG!!! Head home after sitting for a few hours and i pull out the parking lot and it falls flat of its face and goes into its dieing and such again. I limped it home and its sat in the yard ever since. Tried to start it today and after being plugged in for a couple hours it only sputters on a couple cylinders till it slowly dies. All Ive got for my troubles today has been two dead batteries...

This truck has always been underpowered as well. And gotten terrible fuel mileage (8-10 avg)... But it sure is pretty!

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: 4.6L Truck Just Won't Start

2002 Model, F150, 4.6L Triton....

Early last week one day my truck just wouldn't start. I had driven it the day before. but that day nothing. It would spin over just not start. the following day though, it started as always, no hesitation and run smooth. But the was the last day it has ran.

Since then I have checked the relays and fuses. I have checked the inertia switch (pass. side kick panel). Removed the cap on the schrader valve on the fuel rail. (no pressure)

I have sprayed starting fluid into the throttle body and it starts for 1 to 2 seconds. (dies once starting fluid is gone). I have changed the fuel filter and pulled the bed and changed out the fuel pump. I'm thinking about trying the fuel pressure regulator next.

Just not real sure where else to go if that doesn't work.....
