Update. Truck flat out died on me yesterday had it towed to dealer blew the fuse box that's located infront of the engine bay that relays to the engine was fried so they are relocating the box. Apparently this is common especially on the Raptors

 

never heard of it... someone blowing smoke up your ***... engine relay is not even in that fuse box... A/C ... 4WD and DTRL

 

If that was bad, how come after the new battery was installed last week your truck ran fine for a day? Doesn't pass the "smell" test. (ie smells like BS).

Are you saying the dealer said the "entire fuse box blew"? Or did they mean a certain fuse blew? Or did they mean the connections to the fuse box? Or perhaps a fusible link (if there is one there?) to the fuse box?

 

I had it towed to a mechanic and he said the fuse box and harness to motor was fried guess it was melting as I drove it and finally got so bad truck wouldn't start and they didnt want to touch it so then I had to have it towed to ford and they said that 2 20 watt fuses got fried and damaged box and they had to relocate the fuse box I'm no mechanic but ford actually charged me less then the mechanic equated me so I will b looking for a new mechanic
But truck starts better then ever b4 and runs. So if u have problems starting truck but not battery or alternator check that fuse

 

Which two 20 amp fuses were fried?

 

Where did they put the fuse box? And how, those harnesses are very specifically designed.

 

I will get pictures this weekend when I have a chance

It's probably a longshot that you'll see this or even remember which 2 fuses that fried. I've tried everything short of taking it to a dealer. I would really love to know which fuses i need to check.

 

Im guessing they were talking about the fusable link at the battery that has two fuses built into it. Was probably loose and high resistance caused them to blow.
Otherwise it sounds wonky all around as these are not 20A fuses.
