Using OE fuse block under hood for power?

[Ironhorse07]

Yeah from what I can find all 2010-14 F-150's use the same fuse box and main wire harness for the same engines. I sent Svtweb a PM to see if he found anything like this during his project.

If anyone can tell he how to tag a user like Yukon Joe did that would be cool! I'm a newb ;-)

@Yukon Joe Those guys over at the F-150 forum do a lot of stuff, I thought maybe they would have an answer, haven't had a chance to look yet.

So did some more searching last night. Over on f150forum I found this. Guy was adding upfitters to his '13 Platinum and wanted to tap the OE fuse box. Its a GM terminal, part number 7114-4121-02.

Close but not exactly what Ford uses. He said it works but its missing the square hole in the center which retains the terminal in the block and the ears on the side down low. These ensure proper alignment.

Guess its an option but not OE and its a GM part...

Getting back on this as I'm ready to power up some new elecs I've added. Since most of the threads I found that are similar in nature end with "bought fuse box at junk yard" I broke down and got one on eBay.

FUSE BOX ENGINE CORE SUPPORT MOUNTED 5.0L FITS 11-14 FORD F150 PICKUP

I offered them $75 which seemed reasonable and they accepted. Here's what I got. Its from a 2012 F-150 that had a 5.0. It was the closest I could find.
I'll strip all the components and terminals out to use for my projects. I'll chronicle the work here just in case anyone else is as crazy as me about this sort of thing.

The box was pretty dirty but most of it blew off. It came with the main lead that connects to the battery so I removed that and have some ideas for it. I then pulled some relays and fuses and started to pull the terminals from the back.

This job is not easy and requires some knowledge about how these terminals are retained. Ford does not make these fuse boxes and the terminals with the intent of ever having to service them! They are pretty much a one-way assembly and not made to come apart.

With some patience and the correct tools you can do it. Luckily I don't need the actual box, only the terminals, so I wasn't too concerned with breaking anything. I spoke with three different tech's at the dealer the other day who are all electronic and electrical specialists. They confirmed Ford does not sell or provide "service terminals" for anything in the fuse box. If there is a major problem the replace the main harness and box all together!

Why not just get the fuel pump "fix" kit? It comes with the new wires with the correct terminals that fits the fuse box. Seems to me to be exactly what you've been looking for for 4 months.

Because I've never heard of that before! Are you sure you aren't just making that up? Got a part number?
