Truck was parked hooked to a camper when i tried to start the truck it would not start. had to tow the truck to the ford dealer they told me it was the fuse that overheated they would have to replace it with a fuse kit. the dealer said it was not covered under my extended warranty but i did however see an article in cars.com stating that ford was replacing this free of charge. it seems to me that ford is aware of this fuse that overheats and in fact sells a fuse kit that relocates this fuse at a charge of $480 but i'm sending this survey hoping to overturn this. according to other ford owners this issue has occurred while driving and seems very unsafe i was fortunate enough to be parked and just inconvenienced.
