Make sure you do the Fuse 27 fix!!!

[itsrichierich]

Here's how....



Slot 27 is now blank, and slot 70 is filled with a big 20 amp fuse. Additionally, there is a sticker in there saying that the fuel pump relay is now in slot 70.

Thank you for this picture, great for someone like me who is shopping for a Raptor and had no idea about this.

Edit: Is there anything else to this whole issue besides removing a fuse and adding a relay? Was there any wiring or sort added to this?

I need to do this to my 13’ ASAP. Never really looked into this as I’m not super active on the forum. Just popped the fuse box open and previous owner or someone had stuck a random sized 20a fuse in the #27 slot that’s sticking out taller and awkward compared to the rest.

I bought the kit on amazon. They had it with prime, next day delivery for $25 total which isn’t too bad.

Mine looks identical to this. With the different style, 20 amp fuse sticking up in spot 27.

I'm wondering if that different type fuse, more standard looking with the two prongs coming down helps in any way? I'm not sure of the initial cause, that oddball looking stock fuse or the port itself? If it's that weirdo fuse, it would explain why putting a "regular" one would fix it? I ordered the kit to relocate either way but it's got me thinking now.

The standard two prong fuse and wiring in slot 27 are the problem. It overheats the fuse and melts the fuse and block. The square part being added to slot 70 is just a different style of fuse. It sends power to the fuel pump relay. You’re only changing the fuse and moving a wire, you are not doing anything with any relays.

Sorry I've been away for a while....I had the dealer do mine while the truck was in for service, so I couldn't say but I've heard it's not difficult to do.

I’ve known about this for a long time and have a habit of checking fuse 27 during oil changes. I need to just go ahead and do this and quit putting it off. Now that I’m posting about not doing it even though I’m over 186k in miles it will now bite me in the butt sooner than later.

So I posted about not having any problems with the fuse at 125K recently, I inspected it, looked fine, ordered the kit anyways as it's a known problem, finally got around to installing it, the fuse was totally melted.
I'm glad I got to it before it failed.

Hello Friends,
does anyone have the part number for this? or where to buy it?
I was thinking Ebay, but I wanted to ask you guys first.

Thank you!
