2000 F150 Blown Fuse 14

I bought truck new and only has 24000 miles. Never other problems. About 8 months ago I had no power windows or dome light. Location 14 fuse(15A) was blown, so replaced. No other problems until two weeks ago. Replaced again. Happened again today. Fuse protects "battery saver relay,interior light relay,and accessory delay relay(power windows). Could one of the relays be intermiddently bad and blowing fuse? If so, any way to tell which one? Seems to happen when it sets and never when putting windows up or down. Thanks for any help.MikeVicA@peoplepc.com

Edit your post to remove your email address. Leaving it posted in a public forum guarantees it will be harvested by spambots with predictable results. Further, no one is likely to email you with answers, they will be posted here, in the public forum.

It is unlikely that a relay would be causing fuse F14 to blow. They are just switches.

I'd suspect either water infiltration into the GEM module or that you have an intermittent short circuit in one of the courtesy lighting circuits.

Due to the intermittent nature of the fault and the extensive feed of this circuit, I'd suggest taking it to a technician who specializes in electrical systems.
