They even have a relocation kit to move the fuse when it melts due to overheating because of its location. Ford is aware of fuse 27 (for fuel pump) frequently melting. We were stuck on the side of the road for 2 hours until we could get a tow truck for both our truck and 5th wheel. 50, number 27, 20 amp fuse to the fuel pump that caused the engine to stop. We miraculously avoided a possible major accident. As I tried to navigate to the right side of the road, while on a hill, many semi-trucks slammed on their brakes trying to avoid my truck pulling a 5th wheel trailer. " the oil pressure gauge showed no pressure. The dash screen flashed a picture of a wrench and then said "low oil pressure. We were on mile marker 295 eastbound on interstate 40, in the left side passing lane going about 55 mph up a hill. On a trip, September 20th going to the smoky mountains, our 2013 Ford F-150 pickup truck suddenly lost power.

The vehicle was stationary at the time, once in a parking lot and once in my driveway. This has cost me $805 in repairs due to a faulty wiring design. The service manager also told me I was lucky as he had seen total melt downs of fuse panels from this defect. When I explained my concern about engineering a fuel management system for a 10 amp rating and switching it to the 20 amp which could allow other parts of the system to overload he basically told me that Ford had decided this was how they would fix the problem but now I have the concern other components of the system failing and sure enough it was less than two weeks later the fuel pump driver module failed causing my vehicle to stop running. They do not simply replace the Mini 10 amp fuse but instead replace a part of the wiring and relocate it to a standard 20 amp fuse. I looked online and saw where many people have had this happen and Ford has a service advisory issued for this problem but charge the owner with making the correction to the defective wiring. The fuel management system blew the fuse. I am also surprised that neither dealership seemed to know about the TSB. When I checked our truck fuse 27 was indeed melted and I ordered el3z-14293-a as specified in the TSB. The remedy listed in the TSB is a new fuse with contacts at least 10 times larger. The issue is caused by the fuel pump control module fuse not having contacts large enough to carry the current required, getting hot and melting in the fuse box. I believe Ford should issue a recall for this, there are many people on the internet complaining about having the same issue and I would not have found the cure without them. It is a wonder we were not killed! the TSB was published Septemand covers f150 model years 2009 - 2014. Having your truck die on you, while pulling a trailer, up an almost 8000 foot pass, in a storm. With the recent cold snap we have had, the truck has started to exhibit a "a crank no-start" symptom and with a little research I came across "TSB 15-0137" which fits all of our symptoms to a tee. They told us there was an even newer re-flash and the preformed that and it seemed to settle down. After we got home, the wife was driving her truck on the freeway and it died on her on 3 different occasions, so I took it to north central Ford, since they had done a pcm recall re-flash (19v-075) on it prior to leaving for our trip. The tech there found a bunch of codes stored in the pcm, cleared them and sent us on our way and the drive back to dallas was uneventful. We were able to restart the truck and it died a couple more times along the way so we took it to xit Ford in dalhart TX. The end of last may, pulling our camper up the raton pass, in a construction zone and a foggy sleet storm the mil illuminated, the engine died and we were barely able to negotiate our way back to the shoulder, after just having merged into the left lane.
