Description of the problem	Normal driving, dry, clear, daytime. Going thru parking lot 5-8mph, bump and pot holes. My 2004 ford f150, supercrew cab, died. No power to restart. Towed to local automotive shop. They found a blown maxi 20 amp fuse (#102 in fuse box) replaced it. Two days later, again going up a hill with some wash board ripples in road, truck dies/fuse blown. Tow it home, replace same fuse as before, attempt to start truck, fuse blown again & again. Call ford motor dealer, they suggest to replace "ignition switch", i do so and new fuse, attempt to start truck, fuse blown again, call ford dealer, they say to replace "transmission range sensor", i unplug that connector-due to a new part is very costly and you can not return electrical parts. New fuse, attempt to start w/o connection to trs. Fuse blown. So transmission range sensor, not the problem. This is a costly ongoing repair with no satisfaction. (now luckily when the "fuse" blows, i have not been in los angeles rush hour traffic) how ever i was on a very busy up hill grade when the second time it blown the fuse and my family and i were nearly hit several times due to traffic that couldn't see over the hill top, nor would the same direction of traffic from behind slow down. We were lucky, i researched web sites for answers to a fix. I found other individuals with f150 trucks have the same issue. Ford motor co. Has no technical service bulletins for this problem, why not? I have spent 5 weeks researching my wires, parts and informational sites and mechanics, very unsuccessful. I heard that toyota made their pcm so it would malfunction after so many miles, could this be what ford is doing to collect money for repairs? I am a certified mechanic & smog tech in california, i am lost as far as how to repair this problem, before i pay to tow to a ford dealer and get reamed on expense for an electrical problem that is probably an easy fix. Can you help? Thank you for your valuable time.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
