I wonder who that was? I was debating on whether to explain the fix or not, after what I put all who responded through. But I read a comment on this forum where everyone states what the problem is but never finishes the thread by telling what fixed it, so I did. Even as embarassing and stupid as it was on my part.

(Man, I still know I pulled all the fuses. Ha!)

Now the question is why did it blow? Fuses don't just wear out. What else does that fuse run?

Excellent point. Other items include: Fuel Heater,Wastegate Solenoid,and Injector Driver Module Relay Coil. You probably want to test and take a look at the wireing on those items.

I was thinking the Fuel Heater was on that one. I would bet the Heater has shorted out and the fuse will blow again before long. Unplug the heater at the fuel bowl until you get a chance to change it out.

Well, I have two possibilities. One is when I changed my fuel filter a couple weeks ago, I used a rag and a screw driver to try and clean up some of the crud on the bottom of the bowl. I may have jarred something with the fuel heater. Possibility two, while I was cleaning out wire harness connections on the driver side, under the hood, there was one that did have fluid in it. That kinda surprised me. But soon after I bought this truck 8 months ago, I found it had a leaking hydroboost. So who knows how long that hydroboost had been dripping powersteering fluid on the connections. So that connection may have just finally shorted out.
