hey master minds this one has got me stumped! have a 2002 f250 4x4 this snow plowing truck and going to be a pain if i cant figure this out befor winter sets in. number 34 fuse (10amp) blows when replaced. cruise stopped working and can not get into gear from park after starting but turn ignition swtch to 1 click forward and put into nuetral then start and go on about my business? cruise recall completed in 06, brake lights work horn works/ any help on this would be great.

 

I would trouble shoot and find out what is causing that fuse to blow. The interlock that lets you pull the gear selector out of park works on 12 volts when you press the brake. This could be your whole problem.

 

Did you ever get recall 05S28 done? If not, go unplug the pressure switch on the brake master cylinder and see if F34 quits blowing.

 

. I am trying to find the cause of blown fuses but cannot I have tested every wire in steering column and under dash. I will try to disconnect the cruise switch and see if that works. Thanks

 

. Yes the recall was fixed in 06. I am going to disconnect the cruise switch and see if that is the cause of fuses being blown. Will the cruise switch short and cause this to happen? Thank you for your help!

 

It can cause both your symptoms and is the most common.

It will, of course, disable the cruise when disconnected but that's intentional in this case.

IIRC, some of the early recall harnesses were done wrong. you might have one.

 

My truck did this. I replaced the little sensor on the master cylinder which fixed this problem

 

well sorry for the delay on replies, i diconnected the cruise shut off switch at master cylinder and fuse stopped blowing out. and i can shift out of park. i took the wiring apart and the inline fuse was shattered and full off water. i cleaned all plugs and replaced the high amp inline fuse and plugged back together and the wiring harness started smoking so i disconnected it and left it disconnected, could not track the shoret down but i dont need cruise anyway... thanks for all of the help....
