The approximate failure mileage was 98,778. The truck engine would surge as the truck went down the road with the cruise control on. I rapped the top of the dash after trying three restarts where nothing changed. I was about ready to disconnect the battery when in anger I hit the center of the steering wheel very hard with my hand and the horn stopped blowing. Hope some one can help or assist us in fixing this issue not just for our family but for others too.
The fuse panel is located under the right-hand side of the instrument panel. I this a common problem and is there a way to fix it? Have used sparingly only 15K + miles. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the fuel injection control module needed to be replaced. After trying everything I could think of like starting the engine and pushing the horn button numerous times. The first time the truck was driven after work was performed the cruise control was not functioning properly.
For the Ford F150 eleventh generation 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 model year. But that Ford claim that they fix the problem and the people says that the problem still exist. It was about 55 degrees outside. Due to the truck being only 60' from my house and burning so hot I was concerned about my house catching fire. The engine light illuminates for 3-4 days and then turns off. The dealership replaced the fuse and performed diagnostic tests on the truck, then informing me that they could not diagnose or locate the short.
Drive the vehicle on a level surface, away from large metal objects, through three or more complete circles in less than 48 seconds. My four wheel drive would not work so I tried to swicth to 2 wheel drive back to four wheel drive but the 4 wheel drive would not turn on. The vehicle was not repaired. The issue with the cruise control happened on 4-9-16. Drop me an email if you have questions, thanks! A 1 foot section of a wiring harnes mounted to the firewall had caught fire.
Thank you Cameron for your help. I will ask questions about the issues separately. The truck was returned to the dealer on 4-6-16 for the same issue with the same fuse. Ford says its my problem because the recall was already completed. The dealer was not notified. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred.
I was able to get a backhoe and put the fire out with snow.

I called Ford and they will not offer and compensation to have it fixed even though it is a known issue. So I asked about the Cluster Self Test first. If there is a problem with the system that controls the temperature display, the numbers will be replaced with dashes. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The contact heard a beep sound prior to the failure. The procedure is in your owners manual.
There is no longer any doubt that this is a problem with sua, sudden unintended accelleration, that Ford has never admitted. I have read thru some forums and it seems that people have called the Ford dealership and the service department claimed they have never heard of this problem, but can work on it if they bring it in. I have checked the fuses and had replace a few but at time it is not the fuse. The failure mileage was 175,000 and the current mileage was 190,000. When we bought the truck the chain guide was broke and eating through the case.
