2014 Ford F-150: fuel pump failure

Filed Dec 31, 2025 · Fuel system · IL

Crank but no start. Found fuse 27 melted. This fuse supplies power to the fuel pump relay which gives the fuel pump power to run. The melted fuse had lost its connectivity. The fuse is a 20 amp. The fuse was not blown. Unable to determine the cause of the heat to melt the fuse. I searched YouTube and found that this is a common problem with the f150 with the range of 2010 to 2014. Also found that several parts dealers offer a F27 fuse relocation kit as a work around for the problem. The incident happened at home where I was able to research the problem. What if I got stranded in the middle of nowhere, no cell service, and 25 below zero? Worse yet, could this hot spot start a fire under the hood? Why there has not been a recall on this fuse is beyond reasoning tthat the repair is more costly than a life!

While traveling on I 75 to florida engine ck light activated. Was a cautionary light. Upon getting to fl took my truck to a ford dealer who found that both fuel pumps had failed. I now see ford is recalling f-150 trucks due to faulty fuel pumps. I believe all f-150 trucks should be under the recall. Driving at 70 MPH and having the engine unable to maintain highway speed is dangerous and very nerve wracking.

First occurrence with my F-150 STX driving home from work. Started my truck and got a block and a half away and the truck stopped accelerating and completely shut off. All the lights and engine was off. I drifted to the side of the road to avoid traffic causing a traffic pile up and confusion. Being overwhelmed I waited for about 20 minutes then started it and drove home. No lights or check engine lamps on. Having a couple days of normal driving and normal function. I drove again but this time I was going into the freeway halfway up the onramp the truck dies again! This time making it completely unsafe and potentially fatal. I drifted as far as I could to the side as I was going up hill onto the freeway. More cars and extremely different speeds made this moment very concerning . Upon delivery to the dealership and having them offer expensive fuel pump replacements and flushes. I could only afford the $600 fuel pump wake up and having no information about any defects or recalls. I feel like a guinea pig to ideas of half ass fixes.

I bought this truck 2 and a half years ago and from day one it has been nothing but trouble. I was sold a lemon I have spend God knows how much on this truck and now it sits in the yard with a cracked turbo, electrical issues and transmission problems that I've been told has been a problem along time and I'd have to agree. Within the first 3 months of owning the truck it was in the shop 3 or 4 times. I had all kinds of warranty's added to my loan that I wasn't aware of and I've tried having the issue handled but Ford dealership will not tdo anything about it. I still over over 20,000 dollars on this truck I don't know if you can help but if you can I'd greatly appreciate it. I've had numerous sensors replaced, cv joints replaced, a arms replaced, wheel bearings, catalytic converters, ball joints, brake calipers, brake lines, struts, purge valve, engine mount, fuel pump twice, and I'm sure there's more alot of this was in the first not even year.

On 12-26-21 tried to start truck, It cranked but did not start. called for a tow to the dealer. while waiting on tow I looked up fuse information to the fuel pump. after locating fuse that controls power to fuel pump relay I pulled fuse and it was burnt on one side of the prong. I called off tow and got home and did some research for this problem seems 09 thru 14 this particular 20amp fuse is being over heated. I also found a service bulletin 15-0137 on a ford site, and its stating that a ( Fuel Pump Fuse Relocation Kit ) in which I have to pay $270 for. I believe this is fire hazard and a safety because if this fuse is blown while driving it will shut down the vehicle. I have watched several video's on this issue and believe it should be recalled do to the nature of the problem. There was also no warning nor any warning lamp on the dash to show an issue. made an apointment to the ford dealer for 12-27-2021 to have this relocation kit put on before there is a fire from this overheating of this fuse in the fuse compartment.
