| Description of the problem | Vehicle exhibited a crank non-start condition. Fuse 27 was examined and found to be melted. These two observations satisfy ford's conditions of tsb 15-0137. Ford knows this is an issue with their design and offers a fuse relocation kit (el3z-14293-a). The fuse was melted from poor fuse box contact design. Thankfully, this happened on startup and not while the truck was in motion. |
