Ford F-150 Fuel Pump Fuse 27 Relocation 2009-2014

[@miked877]

This stranded me at work but I have AAA and they towed me home. Now, because of this awesome video, I am ready to perform my own surgery. Thanks for the clear and to the point tutorial !!!

[@DaveZeltser]

Exactly my issue. Was intermittent truck just would crank but not start. Turns out the fuse was burnt and not visibly separated in the center, the side melted. This is a safety issue should be a recall. This video is great. Thank you for putting this together for the masses!

[@seancrigger7575]

Yupp pulled mine today and of course one side was burnt

Anyone else find his voice different yet cool and kinda soothing? Lol maybe I’m just weird. Awesome video though helps a bunch!

[@backyardchevy328]

Thank you🙂 ive been told that a few times when im not talking so fast that is lol

[@allamericanjay]

Cool and soothing...definitely! His voice puts you at ease, and gives you the confidence to achieve the relocation. 👍🏻

[@nickboercker7324]

Brooo! I was just thinking this! The tone, confidence, and inflection is on point, and the slight variance from standard annunciation makes it perfect.

[@banjodon9851]

Excellent video, unfortunately, my truck suddenly quit running while I was parking at my Dr's office, and I was stranded, so ended up having to get towed to a mechanical shop. They recognized te problem right off and got the repair done by noon the following day, but between the tow, repair. and a rent car I spent close to $500. If it had happened in my driveway at home I could have done this repair myself. Thanks for posting!

[@p15d24]

This just bit me this morning, fuse blown in my 2009. Just getting ready to call a tow and decided to check the internet first. New fuse, truck started and ordering the kit today. Thank you for the clear and concise video!

[@joewalker1654]

After watching this video, I located and replaced fuse 27. Problem solved! Saved me a ton of money. Thank you!

[@allamericanjay]

You just saved me buckets of $$$$$$; thanks a million! 👍🏻 my fuse was charred; put in another, and started right up! Will be ordering and installing the relocation kit. I'm impressed with your very precise and thorough instructions on replacing. You now have a new subscriber!

My truck "supposedly had it done" but the guy who did it fused the wrong circuit. I think the blower motor 🤣🤣🤣🤣. There is a similar wire. I am still running the fuel pump off the little fuse (have to do it right one day)

[@nickboercker7324]

@backyard Chevy thank you so much bro you just saved my life. Truck suddenly threw battery code, died, then low oil pressure while driving. I was thinking my motor gave out and you just got me up and running in like 5 minutes. If you’re ever in Saint Louis I owe you a beer!

[@melissapopp4001]

Thank You for this video! Pulled the fuse and it looked just like this. We were so afraid that we were going to have to replace the fuel pump.

This just happened to me. Left me stranded at work. Wish I had seen this before letting a $0.10 fuse cost me a $90 tow bill ( I live less than a mile from work) Great video !! I just ordered 2 kits. One for my 2012 FX4 Coyote and one for my dads 2013 Limited 3.7 Eco. Thanks for posting.

Thats great!🙂👍

[@unklefester1980]

I had this very issue today. Call my Bro inlaw and my friends at Penske. Consensus was to get the manual out and check the relay fuse #8 so I swapped it with the rear window defroster so I switch and still no fuel. Finally I decided to look at the fuse chart and found #27 to be the Fuse for the Fuse Relay. Man the 20 A fuse looked just like the one in this video. I am 40 miles from home so I find the mirror defroster fuse 15A and Insert it. Engine fired right up. Take Note. the 15 amp fuse will be easier to blow than a 20 Amp but it gots me to a parts store and I installed a new 20A Fuse.

[@backyardchevy328]

Yea definitely worth doing in an emergency situation..u just wanna avoid using a higher amp fuse since u want the fuse to blow before the components in the system.

[@unklefester1980]

@@backyardchevy328 Man yeah. I was thinking. if this 15 blows I may be totally boned. And the root cause of this is the fuse holder itself? I will likely replace the Fuel Filter and inspect the driver module. Tow truck estimated was $350, then they did not take ride along due to CoVid. Was very happy with the results of the #56 15 Amp. It got me and the Truck Home!

Thats so great! Thank you🙂 yes i do appreciate em as well👍

[@Sheeeeeeeeeeeeiiitt]

Apologies ahead of time for the long winded comment lol bare with me. I have an 09 as well and began noticing a lot of heat in the engine bay. While my truck would start it was somewhat of a longer crank. I really began noticing sporadic fuel mileage after refilling and the truck would also have real lack of acceleration. My engine bay would be really hot although the scan tool live data said it coolant temp was within range. Pulled over and shut the truck off for 20 mins…opened the engine bay and appeared to be emitting more heat than usual. I began hearing a “ticking” noise coming from near the fuse box, (similar to what metal sounds like when cooling down after heat cycle). I read about fuse 27 and when I pulled it out it wasn’t blown however I could see signs of heat discoloration. I looked in the manual and found a spare fuse with larger contacts…not sure if it was ideal however the truck began driving a lot better. While i’m not %100 sure my issues are related I do however plan to do the relocation if anything as a preventive. Curious if y’all had any particular trouble codes and or other symptoms when the issue occurred? The only codes I had were related to a small evap leak P0442 and two others U0121 ECM TCM U0028 SRS codes relating to my abs module which were prior issues. Also the ambient air temp readings are sporadic as well abs the ac kicks on by itself sometimes and the radiator fan is blowing high upon start up sometimes. Any feedback would be welcomed thank you both. Kit goes in tomorrow. This video is gonna be a real help.

[@backyardchevy328]

@@Sheeeeeeeeeeeeiiitt yea the clicking from fuse box was similar..it stalled twice..and first time it stalled it did take a while to start..it had symtoms of a bad fuel pump..but yea the last time it stalled it didnt wanna start..but it didnt have any codes

[@Sheeeeeeeeeeeeiiitt]

@@backyardchevy328 hey thanks for replying. Went by Ford and picked up the kit. Of course the directions came with it but this video really helped. Was a little timid at first but turned out good. Gonna clean the mass air flow sensor and throttle body in the morning since I have the negative pulled. Hope this brings my acceleration back…lord I hope it’s not gonna be the pump. Guess I should check the fpdm harness and ground now that I think of it. Thanks again

[@curtisrafa7211]

This happened to me twice... about a year ago and then just yesterday in front of the post office. The fuse itself did not burn out, but rather, where the blade of the fuse slides in one side of the holder it was completely melted like it was arcing as if there was a poor continuity. It's very strange that this would happen, but the fuse itself will not burn out! This strikes me as a huge fire hazard and I'm surprised that Ford hasn't had a recall. So obviously it's not a problem with the fuel pump drawing too much current, it's the fuse holder itself that cannot handle the current. Anyways, my local mechanic showed up in about 3/4 of an hour while I patiently waited in my truck. He told me to turn the key on but not start the motor while he listened for the fuel pump down by the rear wheel and he couldn't hear it. That's when we opened the fuse box up and noticed that the fuse was melted on one side, this happened to me about a year ago. The exact same thing... I just forgot about it. My mechanic recommend I get this kit to relocate the problem mini fuse for the fuel pump to a larger bladed fuse style on the other side of the fuse box, he said this is a common problem with these f-150s from this generation , mine is a 2013. He's got the kit ordered and I will get it installed promptly so I do not have this problem again, as It really sucks lol.

[@paitenlopez5244]

I don’t have much experience working on cars but I did this fine with the info in the video. If you’re worried about trying this just go for it. As long as you have snips, heatgun/blow driver, needle nose pliers, and socket set you’re pretty much good.

[@craigm5601]

Lol don't waste your time the fuel pump Dr module is pulling to much power which is causing this fuse to over heat these modules sometimes get so hot they melt relocating your fuse is just relocating the problem most these ford's make it a hundred thousand miles before having the problem just change the fuel pump Dr module you should be good till it starts shorting out then you will have the same problem again lol but it's all in this failing part just add new fuse and module at the same time oh the module is 50 dollars takes 5 minutes to change 10 mm socket small ratchet it's located over top of spare tire unplug harness take out two screws

What cause the fuse to over heat in the first place? Would dielectric grease help prevent the over heat condition?

[@backyardchevy328]

Its just the type of fuse, the fuse contacts cant handle the heat thats generated by the current powering the fuel pump, so it begins to melt the fuse overtime

[@raulcastillotexasrealtor410]

Question. This started happening to me this year. I have just been replacing the fuse with another 10 amp fuse. The fuse location does look melted. But what happens if I just replace a 30 or 20 amp fuse instead of 10 amp. Will it cause damage to the fuel pump?

Same thing happened to me, I did the fuse relocation and not only did it work but it fixed my radio display from coming on and off on its own.

Also, the cuz of the fuel pump fuse burning up was from too much power being drawn and that’s why it was relocated, well now that the screen is cutting out again what else could be drawing too much power and what am I at risk of burning up?
