PSA: Check your fuse box for any electrical issues (and any option controlled by a fuse)

[ScottBB]

Just a point of interest. If you are having any issues with any electrical components of your truck, check the fuse box. These fuse boxes are notorious for being placed into the trucks with the fuses and relays in them not completely in place. This is not just a Ford issue, but the past 3 vehicles I have gotten this year (Jeep and 2 F150s) all were delivered to me with 90%+ of the fuses not completed clicked into place. This can cause electrical components to behave erratically. Just an FYI.

I just want to say what an absolute life and time saver this thread was. The tweeter in my pax side A column was not working, checked all the fuses, re-seated 80% of them, tweeter was working.

This was after I had removed, switched, and just about checked everything else - so thank you!

+1 on this. My truck got delivered with 'trailer module fault' and going into the fuse box, nearly half of the fuses weren't pushed fully down. Def go under the hood (and anywhere else we have fuses, not sure if there are some inside the cabin as well) and make sure all relays and fuses are fully pushed down.

Maybe a robot at the factory puts these in, or they wiggle out during transport, but def saves headaches when troubleshooting anything fuse related.

And in our trucks it seems that EVERYTHING is fuse related.

Seated all mine yesterday because of trailer issues. Battery wasn't charging and running signal issues. This fixed the battery charge issue, turn signal and brake light issue still needs to be resolved
