Question type: Maintenance & Repair
2004 f350 5.4l new bat, new starter. Starts fine after sitting parked for a day
or two can drive down the road or the driveway then it will just shut off when I
try to start it all I here is the starter clicking if i jump it, the truck will fire up
and drive like new for a hour or 10 min. Have had it to Ford $$$$ found
nothing. Please help I realy need this truck in the summer. Also have
checked every inch of all wireing for short found nothing. only one other
thing I had water leaking in on to fuse pannel stoped it, looking at panel
seems ok.

Second starter in 3 months, but I will try a new one, under warranty. Will get back
I mean starter relay/solenoid under hood.
Fords do have a problem with water leaking onto the fuse panel and ruining hidden relays that cannot be repaired without replacing the whole fuse box. I recently had to replace my Expeditions fuse box- $400.
The fuse box behind the kick panel has relays behind it and you can't see them. It is a one hour job and not that bad but a new fuse box is not cheap. Good luck!
