Has anybody still dealt with crank no start issues after replacing this? The dealership is telling me my fuel pump is bad along with the catalytic converter. Every morning, I'm dealing with 5-10 seconds of cranking before it starts even after the fuse was relocated.

[@TrickShiftGarage]

Hello, I haven't experienced any issues but if someone else has, hopefully they can tell you how they solved their issue! For now, I will pin this comment to the top of this video in hopes someone can help you!

[@larryelitzer1545]

the reason it is a long crank in the morning is because there is a check valve located in the pump to stop the fuel pressure from leaking back into the tank so vehicle will maintain fuel pressure and start right away. so if you want fixed correctly so there is no excessive cranking then go ahead and replace fuel pump. but im sure its about $500. but if you can live with the long crank on startup then just leave it be ,wont affect anything

[@marshallfraysur7702]

Of it's your cat just unbolt exhaust at y pipe and see if it fires right up. I've had some crazy shit happen due to cats

[@georgeadragna5625]

Truck cranked and would not start yesterday morning; did a search and found out about this fuse 27 issue, which when I pulled it, was clearly melted...ordered the repair kit from Amazon (genuine Ford part) at half thee cost of the local Ford dealer, and followed along with this video. repair was super easy, truck started right up after the repair! Thanks for posting such a great video! Hugely helpful!

[@TrickShiftGarage]

Awesome man, I am glad it helped! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment! 🙏

[@ssigman2681]

This is a fantastic video with great quality and very easy to follow. This happened to my truck today at the dealership and they wanted $400 to fix. I fixed it in their parking lot after watching this video in less than 1 hour and for less than $40. Actually easier than it looks. Thank you so much, hope to learn more from you in the future.

[@TrickShiftGarage]

Awesome, I'm glad you got it done! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment! 🤟

[@dusty_burkhalter]

Great video. Mine fried today. 315k miles and first issue. Truck died while driving, luckily I was on a county road and going about 20mph. Wouldn't fire at all. Loaded the truck on a trailer and hauled home. Was getting ready to take to Ford house when Google revealed the fuse 27 fix. A couple of bucks later with a new fuse truck was running again. Definitely going to follow through with this to ensure it doesn't happen again.

[@TrickShiftGarage]

Yea these fuses are famous for going out on these trucks. It's a pretty simple fix, but very annoying to deal with.

[@mrjlstarks]

Thanks for making this video to show where all the components are at. But I would strongly suggest watching some videos on how to solder. There are specific ways to twist the wire to make a strong mechanical and electrical connection. However the problem I saw with your soldering was that you created a cold joint. This happens when you have melted solder but your wire is not hot enough. You end up creating more of a jacket of solder instead of having it bond to the wire.

[@TrickShiftGarage]

That's a great tip! Thanks John!

[@mattmgarza]

getting the wire to heat up "properly" is a whole lot easier said than done, if the repair is still working, that's all that matters

[@TrickShiftGarage]

Especially being in such a tight area. But truck is still going strong!

i usually do not comment but you did an excellent job. I enjoyed your video and your what not to do and so excited to see if it worked that you forgot to hook up battery and wires first. I was a mechanic for ford motor company for 30 years and I remember doing this when the tsb came out. thanks for the recap. now I have to go do this to my sons truck. lol. his fuse is melted thou.

[@TrickShiftGarage]

Oh man, I'm sorry that happened. There have been a lot of trucks that melted a fuse. Hopefully it goes smooth for you! Let me know how it goes brother! 🤟

[@jelizarraraz1679]

Man this a fantastic video you explained very well step by step thank you buddy..

Thank you I am going to buy this kit before I have this issue. Dealer said 0.6 to due job, I going to give it a try myself. Great video sir🛻🛻

[@TrickShiftGarage]

Same here Steve. I didn't have an issue, but figured it was better to replace it before it happened. Good luck and be sure to let us know how it goes! 🤟

[@HalfTonEnterprises]

I haven't taken my fuse box apart yet so please excuse an obvious question. I was wondering why you did not simply remove the factory wire from fuse 27 position and move it to fuse 70 position? Do the factory wire ends not release from the fuse box? Are they different size? Seems like moving the wire would be much easier than cut & solder. Great video though. Thanks

[@TrickShiftGarage]

I'm going to assume it may be too difficult to do that, but I'm not 100% sure. The Fuse 27 relocation guide came straight from Ford, so I just followed their instructions. I also haven't seen anyone else do it the way you mentioned, so (again I'm assuming) this is probably the best way to tackle this common issue in these trucks.

[@HalfTonEnterprises]

Thanks for the quick reply. There must be a good reason which will probably be apparent once I get into the box.

[@TrickShiftGarage]

Yea I think so too. If you figure it out, come back and let me know! I'm sure someone else will have the same question at some point. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! 🤟

[@StephanieKimSwoon]

You should have an electric crank assist on your starter. Don't crank. Let it do the work. Turn the key for like a count of one. Then let go. The starter should keep cranking until the motor starts

[@TrickShiftGarage]

Great tip! I know the push button to start vehicles had it, but had no idea the trucks with a key has it. It worked just as you said. Thanks for sharing! 🙏

[@Shorthaul-overhaul]

Question can you just use a crimp that has shrink hose on it instead of trying to solder the wire together

[@TrickShiftGarage]

You can if you want, but I would rather solder them together. 🤟

[@weddingproceo]

Is there a link for the authorized part? Or are the kits on Amazon fine?

[@TrickShiftGarage]

The link to Amazon in the description of the video is the Motorcraft Part (official part from Ford).

Sitting on a cold dark highway trying to figure out a fuse?

[@TrickShiftGarage]

Yea, unfortunately some people have ran into that issue. So I decided to fix mine before it became a problem. Thanks for watching! 🤟

[@Craig52-zq1bt]

Would it have been better to put a fuse relocation kit in that plugs into the old fuse socket and relocates with a new fuse socket? Just unplug old fuse, plug in new plug and double side foam tape new socket to open space on fuse block. Three minutes work and no accidental broken or pulled out wires. Just sayin.

[@TrickShiftGarage]

I'm not quite sure what you mean. This process is directly from Ford. If there was a better or easier way, I'm sure they would have went that route.

[@Craig52-zq1bt]

@@TrickShiftGarage Except all the moving of the fuse block with wires. Seems like a recipe for disaster. They use a fuse relocation kit for high power amps. It plugs into the old socket, has heavy gauge wires to a new socket. Use double side tape to place it in an open spot. Quick, easy and no jerking the fuse block around possibly creating new problems. Just an idea.

[@TrickShiftGarage]

Again, this is directly from Ford. If you have the knowledge to do something like that, go for it.

[@johnnycash5858]

Decent video but you can completely skip that first step, as the trim doesn't block anything for this job. You should have pulled the clip that secured that large wire loom to the front of the box, however, instead of spending half the video fighting it the way you did. Also don't be afraid to use a heat gun on this task, as it doesn't generate enough heat to affect anything but the heat shrink sleeve so long as you move the heat gun side to side to keep directed heat from building up enough to cause damage.

[@michaellangshaw7319]

My f-150 is a 2010 lariat, looking at the fuse box in your video, the relays are in different on my truck, than that in your video, why

[@TrickShiftGarage]

I'm guessing it's because they are completely different engines. In 2011, Ford ditched the 4.6 and 5.4 V8's for the 5.0 V8 and Ecoboost V6 (3.5).

[@13boogieman13]

8 & 10 mm 'bolts'? Or, 'nuts'? RELAX, Haters...., just playin.

[@TrickShiftGarage]

Potatoe, potahtoe. 😎

[@michaellangshaw7319]

I lost my headlights and park lights, I only have high beam, and it can't find any fuse blown, what could just go so wrong

[@TrickShiftGarage]

You may have cut the wrong wire. Were you able to figure out what was wrong?
