I'm having same problem. Dealer cant figure it out. By the time a mechanic gets to it, it starts. Did you ever get an answer?

Ford finally fixed problem. traced problem to a overheat (blown) fuse for the fuel pump relay, fuel pump, and f.driver module

Bros F150 blows fuse every few months. Cannot locate cause. Autonation Ford says tough bananas. Truck was taken in before warranty ran out

I have been having the same problem for 3 yrs now. Every winter or when it is cold my 2000 Expedition (5.4) sometimes usually in the morning, will not start. I know the fuel pump is not coming on and I know that I have to turn the Ignition on and off again and again until I hear the fuel pump come on. Then it starts right up. This year when I hear the fuel pump come on I start it and sometimes it runs for a few seconds and dies and sometimes it starts and runs fine. I really need to fix it but still not completely sure what it is.

Me, too. #27 had carbon buildup on the contacts, fuse not open though. Replacing fuse did the treat. Thanks all!

FOlks, Im an electrical engineer, fuses blow because the relay contacts get carbon and create more resistance. replace the fuse it will occur again. replace the fuse and relay and your new for another 100k. do you want this to occur again?

My concern is a fuse is in place for a reason and for it to be burning up like that is a issue. Just now mins ago went through the same issue easy fix but what happens when it burns up. My question is why is this happening (I have a few theories) and how do i correct it

#27 was also the problem on my 2009 5.4 F150. There was so much carbon, I couldn't get it out. Once I replaced the fuse, it started right up. Thanks a lot, I. B,

Just had the same fuse #27 problem. Thanks so much to all of you for helping me find the problem. My fuse had actually melted. Had to take it out in little pieces with wife's tweezers. Since I'm not an engineer, why does changing the relay keep the fuse from blowing? Mark
