Yup, same thing happened to me. Intermittent crank with no start that seemed to fix itself if I let the truck sit before trying again, until one morning when it refused to start completely. All the shops worth a damn in my area were backed up for months so I started self diagnosing and referring to youtube and F150 online forums before finally stumbling across a thread discussing this issue. Pulled the 20A and it looked just like yours: melted with a prong stuck in the box. The intermittent failure came from the plastic melting and breaking contact with the prong but as the engine shook at crank it was enough to clear the block, that is until the day it melted completely apparently. Swapped the fuse, drove down to Autozone for this kit should be good to go.
Other Large fuse sockets are not used and may never be used, Without spending money on the ford replacement part, Remove a blade and wire from the extra unused socket cut the wire to a usable length and heat srink the cutoff end, the video instructions are excalant, You will need (JCase 20 amp Fuse) at a local auto store.
Thanks for posting this. Just had the same thing happen with my F150 while driving out of town on vacation. Found the burned fuse and replaced it to get home. Headed to the dealer asap to pick up this kit.
After watching and having my truck taken to my mechanic who was not able to find the problem , I looked at the fuse and sure enough it had partially melted . I replaced the fuse and it starts . Thank you . I am going to buy the kit and advise my mechanic what it was .
I was stranded 80 miles from home when my fuel pump fuse melted. I had it towed to my mechanic, and had him perform the fuse relocation. This is a common problem in the 2013 F150 according to the mechanic. Total cost was about $200. My hands aren't steady enough to do this myself.
Had the same problem . Relocated the fuse to #70 and I recommend not cutting the wire #27 I just pulled the whole wire from the original #27 fuse and then just cut the tip of the wire since it comes out with the part from the old #27 fuse.
My dealer recommended that he do this to my truck (no issue with the pump; it was in for the transmission reprogram). Price $395. I think this is one I will do myself.
I've still got to do this to my 2010 F150 Raptor SVT. So far fuse 27 is holding but it is only a matter of time I'm sure before it begins to show problems. In my humble opinion, I believe Ford should do a recall for this issue and have everyone bring in their trucks to be updated with this fix, as it is not a customer issue, but rather a Ford issue.
I have a 6.2L F150 and I think someone just put the fuse 70 sticker and a dummy fuse. There is only one contact. The FP (fuse 27) was changed to a 15 amp :(. Good idea to change the $5 fp relay, those can go bad too. Also the PCM relay. They can easily strand you!
If you have the bad initial set up, how many times has this happened to you and approx at what mileage on the vehicle did this happen? I have a 2014 with 60,000 and this has not happened yet.
2011 here. Issue became intermittent at 115k and fully melted at 126k. That's 12 years of driving before it became an issue, but if you don't do this repair be sure to keep a spare 20A fuse in your truck just in case this flares up while you're on the road.
Thank you very much. I just got done installing mine. Cost me about 37$ and took me about 1 hr.

all of the unused sockets use a common power strip. This adds the other side, the individual side to makr use of the empty slots.
Just did this update, 2023. Tip, just be patient.
awesome glad it helped

Same, just happened to me on my way home from vacation, I’m no mechanic so it took me like two hours to figure out what the problem was 😂😂
Best step by step video on this site!Thank you.

Thanks. Very easy to understand

$395 seems awfully high for this relocation. I just had this done for $229 +tax for a $34 part from Ford.
@@ricknelson4721this is so simple to do cost me 9 dollars and 30 min literally anyone can do this sorry u paid
Had this happen to me a couple of months ago on my 2014. If its this big of a problem then why won't the issue a recall.
they wont issue a recall because so far it has only kept a vehicle from starting not dyeing while driving
9 dollars from Amazon
I've still got to do this to my 2010 F150 Raptor SVT.
