if your F 150 truck wipers, interior lights, door chime, and cargo lights stopped working all at same time like mine did today................. just disconnect your negative battery cable for 10 seconds, hook it back up and your set again.

at least you can use the wipers until you have time to dig deeper into the problem

Those fuses are there for a purpose, to keep the vehicle from catching on fire due to a short circuit. I wouldn't advise anyone to bypass a fuse.

You are asking for BIG trouble jumpering out that fuse - it also protects the OBD2 port.
