| Description of the problem | Truck stalled momentarily while negotiating an intersection. I pulled into a parking lot to check for issues. When i tried to re-start the truck it would turn over but wouldn't start. I checked the owners manual for the procedure to re-set the fuel shut off switch because i thought it may have been activated by something. Truck still would not start after following procedure. I had the truck towed to hunt ford in franklin ky. A service technician called me the next day to inform me that the fuel pump relay had melted and that ford had issued a technical bulletin about the issue and a fix for it which included installing an inline fuse to keep the relay from melting again. The repair cost $210 and the service tech told me that my truck was second one that they had fixed with this same issue that day! While it wasn't a safety issue for me, it definitely has the potential to be one. |
