Actually, that's #4. Do the heater hoses run near or over this coil? Don't know about F150's, but Ford Expeditions have an issue with loose/leaky heater hoses dripping antifreeze on the #4 coil and shorting it out.

I have a 99 F150 4x4 and I had 2 coils go bad on #4 cylinder because of that leaky heater hose. All it takes is to tighten that hose clamp and pressure test your system to make sure that is wont leak.
