I fired up my early '99 this morning and went in to get my lunch box... came back out to the truck and it had died. Tried to restart, but it wouldn't... no wait to start light now.... would it be a fuse? or ???

I'm going to try to get it running after I get home from work today... and suggestions would be appreciated.

sounds like fuel bowl heater shorted and think fuse #30 should be blown
unplug bowl heater before replacing fuse

 

I don't think mine has the heater bowl, but I'll check, thanks!

 

X2 what Ray said.

 

x3...no WTS light...pretty sure its the fuse blowing due to shorting heater

 

thanks guys.... it was the air intake heater I was thinking of , not the fuel bowl heater. I'll be checking it out when I get home.

 

Ray and others... you guys rock!
exactly as stated, easy fix, we're back in the driver seat.

THANKS!

 

isn't that the *****!!!!
i had the same problem a month or so ago and (f350-6) diagnosed mine, "i love those easy fixes"

 

What would cause this short in the heater?? and where is fuse # 30?? in cab or under hood?? Thanks!

 

I don't know what causes the heater to short, but fuse #30 was in the cab in mine
