tranny fluid spraying on engine
so i just bought a 95 f150 with a 302 engine about 2 or 3 weeks ago, and its spraying tranny fluid toward the front of the engine, the radiator on the serp belt on the alternator but it doesn't go near the right of the engine or near the firewall or the back of the engine, i just cleaned it all up (and now i have a blown fuse go figure) thats another problem though lol, but anyways the bottom of the radiator is absolutly caked in tranny fluid what could it possibly be?

Then don't. Wash it off (garden hose, spray bottle of PurplePower/SimpleGreen/Dawn/etc., and a toilet brush will do wonders; or take it to a coin-op car wash), let it dry, then check it immediately at the first startup to pinpoint the leak.

Yes, there's an ATF cooler in the Left radiator tank - the steel lines going into it should be obvious:

There's probably also one in front of the radiator, and those lines are even-easier to see; through the grill, or under the front bumper. But they're more to the RHF of the engine, where you said there's no leak.

finally found the problem, there is a tiny knick in one of the transmission lines, its super small but it oozes the fluid out at an alarming rate, gonna replace it tomorrow and see if it fixes it.

And there's no advantage to starting another thread dealing with this same issue.
i sprayed down the engine with purple power then cleaned it all up, in the process i must of got something electrical. and now 13 fuse keeps blowing and possibly another one, it won't shift out of park, and turn signals nor hazards are working. i dried everything and replaced fuses but its still doing it. how do i figure out whats the problem and what might need to be replaced?
edit: the abs light is also blinking
edit 2: I narrowed it down to when I press the brakes it buzzes for a second then the fuse blows

Has the SCCDS recall been done (the final version)?

looks like it has been replaced, i'll check if its dead. i did notice on the brake fluid level sensor there is a free flying wire just dangling there, but on the connector there is all 3 wires plugged into the connector could that be shorting the 13 fuse?

You need to put that back on the truck & take it to the nearest Ford dealership for the latest recall. Keep those pics in case you have to contact Ford national CS.
