Ford F-150 2013 Fuse Box (2024)

FAQs

Are there any issues with a 2013 Ford F-150? ›

Premature pad/rotor wear, pulsation or vibration, antilock system, parking brake, master cylinder, calipers, squeaking, brake failure, regenerative braking.

Fuse #27 runs the fuel pump. It's a common problem and Ford makes a "fuel pump fuse relocation kit" for $20.

In most cases, the main fuse box is situated under the hood, near the battery, while secondary panels can be found in the passenger compartment, often hidden behind a removable panel.

Sometimes a fuse is bad but not necessarily blown. In this case, the best way to test it is with a test light or a multimeter. These are both relatively inexpensive tools and provide an easy way of checking if there's a current running through the fuse.

Doing a Resistance Test

A functioning relay coil should have a reading of between 50 and 120 ohms, but usually it's very near 75 ohms. If it reads a lot higher or is open (“OL” on the DVOM), the coil is faulty and you'll need a new relay.

Bear in mind that some fuses like stud mount fuses need to be unbolted before they can be changed, so be sure there aren't any fasteners to remove. Have a blown fuse? We can help. AutoZone carries a fantastic selection of car fuses and electrical repair components to get you back on your way fast.

If you're looking for a used pickup with good safety scores, potent engine choices, and expansive passenger space, consider a used 2013 Ford F-150. It ranks near the top of its class and has above-average reliability. Still, some rivals score better in that regard, which elevates them to a higher ranking.

A Ford F-150 is expected to last around 200,000 miles when properly cared for. Since the average driver clocks in about 12,000 miles per year, this comes out to roughly 17 years.

Ford acknowledged that the master cylinder in 2013-2014 F-150s were defective. Ford blamed the F-150 brake failure on a primary cup seal, which allowed the brake fluid to leak. However, the Ford F-150 brake failure class action lawsuit believes that the recall did not fix the defective braking system.

An ECM, or Electronic Control Module, is an automotive computer module, and a direct application of battery or alternator power to the ECM module may damage the module, so the power circuit is “fused”, has a fuse in the power line.

What does PCM fuse stand for? ›

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is a vital part of your vehicle. It is not only responsible for receiving information from the sensors and other control module units, but also for controlling various features, including ignition timing, amount of fuel delivery, emissions, idle speed, throttle control, and more.

Alternatively, “F” stands for “Fast” or “fast acting fuses” with the “FF” rating for ultra-rapid fuses such as the one shown here. The ultra-rapid fuses operate at higher temperatures so are ideal to provide circuit protection to semiconductor devices.

Usually, you will find two fuse boxes in the car. One is located under the hood and the other is found in the dashboard or near the steering wheel.

Fuse boxes are commonly found in utility rooms, porches or under-the-stairs cupboards. You may also have one in your hallway or garage. Wherever your fuse board is located, you must have easy access to it.

Mega Means Big:

Two Mega-Fuses, actually fusible links about three inches long and 3/4" wide, are located on the distribution rack mounted to the firewall, right side. Heavy red cables are attached at both ends of the fuses. One fuse is connected between the alternator output and the battery.
