well i no i have a short some where in the truck because have replaced the fuse multiple times... the window and dome light work for a short period of time but then the fuse will blow again... so i was wondering does anyone know a good place to check for the short and if not... does anyone have a clue how much it will cost me to take it to a shop and have them fix it... thanks...

 

How about some info on the truck ?

Year, cab style, trim level.

Is this the day for posting new threads without profiles filled out, and no info in the thread ?? 3rd one already.

 

hey sorry um... its a 99 f-150, sport 4x4 with a extended cab... you can see it on my profile now...

 

Sorry for the delay in the reply, work got in the way this week.

When you say you replaced the fuse, was it obviously blown ( i.e. trace broken ).

The reason I am asking, is this a case of a warped fuse socket, where it is making intermitten contact ?

Now that I am back in town, I will look on the EVTM for the diagram for this, and try to get it posted on FRI, if work cooperates with me.

o ya you can tell its blown... i have put bigger fuses in there hopin that it will help it doesn't and it seems to only blow when the windows are down and the dome light is on... so could it possibly be in the switch...

 

Looking at the diagram quickly late last night, had a question.

Which fuse are you replacing ?

I see the common between the 2 items being the accy delay relay.

Don't know if you are blowning this or the power window fuse proper.

 

i m not blowing the relay... its just a fifteen amp fuse...
