2003 Ford F-150 Electrical system Problems

“The fuse # 29 in the inside cab fuse box has blown twice. The first time is unknown the second time within 10 days of replacing the second fuse. This fuse controls the transmission overdrive, the auto-lamp and belt minder functions of the truck. I have seen on other web pages the same problem we are experiencing.”

“My Ford f150 super crew has a recurring problem in that it continuously blows a certain 5 amp fuse. This fuse disables the automatic lights, the automatic door locks and the overdrive system. I took the truck to the local Ford dealership. They replaced the fuse and charged me $52.50. They did not fix anything. I found an identical complaint on your website from nov 30, 2008.”

“On 5/5/2005, we purchased a 2003 Ford f150 heritage edition 4x4. It had only 10,000 miles on it. On june 5, 2005, just one month after purchase, I returned home from my aunt's house. About 5 minutes later, the truck was on fire. The truck was totaled and released to the insurance company. At the time, we were told 2003 fords were not included in the recall and now they are.”

“My vehicle is a 2003 f150 xl. I awoke this morning to find the cab of my truck full of smoke and the smell of burning plastic. I noticed a trail of smoke originating from the steering column. I immediately disconnected the battery and removed the dashboard around the steering column. I found exposed wiring and melted components leading into the high-beam selector lever.”

“I have a Ford f150 and within the last 4 months I have had 3 ignition coils go up in it I called Ford and they told me it has been a problem and to hold onto my receipts incase there is a recall in the future while I was at our local Ford dealership getting my truck worked on they also told me they have had a lot of fl50s coming in with the same problem do you know if there will be a recall on the f150 ignition coils ? Thank you for your time.”
