Thank you so much for uploading this video my stepdad has a truck same color as yours he was giving me a jump hooked up cables then went into the house to get warmed up as i walked by his truck it just shut off and it would turn over just fine but no start so he started say that it was the fuel filter and pump i decided to research the problem first and came across your video and damn if that was the problem a new fuse saved my stepdad lots of money and made me feel good to help him after being there for me . thank you

i just wanted to say thank you for such a awesome video. My Dad had the same thing happen to him and he called me at home and i saw your video and you helped us expidite the problem. Thankyou

My trucks just died on me right now and stuck on side of the road found this vid and I'll be dammm it was this fuse I was already thinking glow plugs and other stuff thank u very much it was great to know

You my friend are a genius. I’ve replaced relays and was about to put another fuel pump on the truck that I had replaced a few years ago. My truck only has 160k miles so it’s like new for a 1999. So thank you so much for making this video.

Thanks, you saved me a lot of troubleshooting. This brought me right to the issue,

Thanks for the video, Fixed my issue, Went out and got a 30 mini fuse breaker from amazon

You saved me a major headache. Walked me right onto my problem. Thank you!

You are the GOAT You just save me HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS, my 03 7.3 Just died in my driveway Working on it all day , changeling All kinds of parts , then saw your Viedio, went back and check them Out , guess what ? I had a Blown 20a Run to the store ,and swap it out Cost $4.50 for a box of 5 Within a minutes the job is done For less than a dollar Thanks man , just subscribe to you Channel, GOD is good all the time Wish I could send you an early Christmas present ! Take care brother and thanks !

You were right on point with this video thanks for saving me money and peace of mind I appreciate you 🤙🏾

I had same problem, however, was not blown fuse at that location, it was the female part of fuse holder that lost tension to hold onto fuse, you would drive and fuse would loose connection with fuse holder Your video did direct me to that location and greatly reduced my diagnosis time, thank you very much I replaced fuse box with oem from ford. God bless you sir!

This is almost always caused by the fuel bowl heater. UNPLUG it and the fuse will stop blowing. The heater coil costs a pretty penny but is easy to change if you really need one. I unplugged mine years ago and the truck will still start in below freezing weather.

Thanks for the info video on changing fuses pro fuse changer

The issue was the fuel bowl heater shorted out and blew the interior fuse which also allows the pcm to fire the injectors. The main clue is the no wait to start light....have seen many 7.3s do this. Doubtful you needed gpr but glads it’s fixed.

thanks lthe same fuse blew on me. I was just driving on a muddy road and died.

On mine (2001 7.3) the large 20 amp Max fuse for the pcm under the hood blew when the fuel bowl heater shorted out. I unplugged the electrical connection at the rear of the fuel bowl replaced the fuse to get home. Than I ordered a new fuel bowl heater. Problem fixed!! Don't get an aftermarket heater. I bought mine from Riffraff Diesel, an International OEM part. $39.88 best price anywhere. My original heater lasted for over 17 years with 328,000 miles.

@@XEGTDodgeMagnum, As far as I know, it has never been replaced. I had my son go out and start to test for power and there was no power to the PCM fuse. That said, while he was testing things the lights came on and then we could start the vehicle! We think it is a loose wire. That is scary in and of itself as you never know when it will make a connection or not. I will show my husband the wire tomorrow. I really need to use the truck. LOL!

@@territowner8350 Maybe he should change both fuses, the location 24 the 20 amp under the hood, and the 5 amp location 15 under the steering column. Have him check how tight the fuses go into the holder so they make good contact. I had a problem a while back where my headlights would just go out and leave me in the dark, it took a while to find the problem. It was a bad connection in the fuse holder, I took a pliers and put a little twist in each fuse leg and it went in nice and snug. I did it this way because I was on the road and couldn't see how i could repair the fuse holder at that time That was three years ago and no problems since. Good luck with it. Let me know what happens. I hope it's not a loose wire somewhere, that can be difficult to find.

Check resistance on fuel bowl heater . If faulty, the resistance will be zero.

Fuses just don’t fail , just because…. You will eventually find out why. Good luck

Mine did the same thing my fuel bowl heater was popping the fuse

Noticed your fuel level is at around where a broken pick up tube might not get to it anymore. Did you eventually have to replace that?

Unplug fuel bowl and replace fuse

Ummm... when fuses blow, it is due to a problem in the system usually. So, yes the new fuse may have you covered for a bit, but you might want to investigate / replace the item that is powered in that circuit as it may blow continue to blow fuses until it is fixed.

Dude, nice ranch... That yours?

The same thing happened to me, i replaced the fuse. Still not starting funny enough i replaced my fuel pump and the big 20 amp #19 fuse a week before. Trying everything before i have to get a new pcm. Did your fuse work for a long term fix, or did you keep running into problems.

This really helped, my 99 7.3 was warming up because it got cold and it just died, it was able to crank but no rpm or any sign of turning over. I looked at the fuse and it was it, but the only problem i have now is that it keeps blowing that fuse. Anyone know why?

Thanks

I have 2002 the fuse box is different any body know which fuse is in 02 models thanks

Does this work for the 6.0 as well?

I have no codes but it died on me and wouldn't start back up! Getting up real early to check that fuse!

Fuel bowl heater issue. Intermittent problem. Change the heater.

I had a repair shop replace the fuel heater and the glow plug relay and I haven't had a problem since. The new fuse repair only lasted a few days. Call Tim's Diesel Repair at 435-245-3330 for more info.

That fuse controls both the fuel bowl heater and power to the PCM. If this fuse blows, simply disconnect the connector at the back of the fuel bowl until you can replace the fuel bowl heater. I once ran a truck with this heater disconnected for 2 years because I forgot I disconnected it....

I had exactly the same issue but in my case the fuse continues to blow. Had the pump replaced but the same fuse still blowing. Now I don't know what else can be. Wires are not in short and normally fuse blow around 15 minutes after starting the engine.

Which fuse

these things can really be a mystery especially if they haven't ever givin a problem and suddenly die and wont start Ive learned if you dont have a proper way of anylizing one find someone that can it will save you alot of money oh and if you happen to go over some rough roads and trouble starts check the injector connections under the valve covers just might be a loose connection

What were those fuses labeled for? I have a 95 7.3 im trying to diagnose that same problem

Crank posistion sensor, injectjon pressure reg or fuel bowl heater shorted out.... lets see....

i pulled the other fuse under the dash think it was #14

fuse blown for reason most likely it was pump drawing to much amperage

I have a 99 f250 Super Duty,, Did this fuse ever blow again? I had the same problem, but the fuse kept mysteriously blowing, turns out by accident I figured out the cause. One day while changing out a leaky fuel bowl drain, in the bottom of the the fuel bowl, the fuel heater is a single 18g wire grounded by solder to dime size tabs, ""probably the original heater coil"", the solder broke loose from the wire causing a bad ground blowing my fuse. I live in Central Texas, I removed the fuel bowl heater completely. AND WA-LA no more blown fuses.

@victormorgan5508

4 жыл бұрын

BTW - Not all fuel bowl heaters are a single bare wire soldered to tabs, at least in the 99 - 03 models. I thought about replacing it and realized there is a different style heater coil, more like a miniature circle heater coil, kind of like the one in your oven or electric water heater only smaller, instead of a single 18g wire.
