Default 2002 7.3 shuts off while driving

I have a 2002 7.3.... Was driving today and the truck shut off, motor stills runs but I have no pedal or gauges. Will start but I still have no pedal or gauges.... Let it sit for a hour and everything was fine for about 30 minutes and it done it again. This time, I cant get and gauges or pedal after 3 hours of sitting.....

check fuse No. 19. center row, 8th one down. it's a ten amp. if it blows it again, unplug the fuel bowl heater.

I looked up a diagram of my fuse panel under the dash and it doesn't match anything I've seen....

I looked on the cover and and matched the 19th fuse to it..... I also checked every fuse, we are talking about the fuse panel under the steering column correct?

Ok, that is the correct fuse. The airbag light was flashing a code when I started the truck(has been for awhile) and then staying on. I have no way to get the code though...

and the fuse is ok? did you rplace it any ways? do you know any one with a super chip programmer? a auto zone scanner will not work.

The fuse was fine, I did replace it. I don't know anyone with a programmer, I was told it is a bad shifter or gas pedal??? I bought this truck used and it has had some stuff done to it so no one wants to mess with it. I believe they said it has a TC Tuner on it, I have a **** on the dash to adjust the turbo(I never touch it though). I'm at a loss, never had a diesel til I bought this one 4 months ago.....

TC tuner? turbo adjuster? never heard of those. mybe it has a chip on it... look under the dash at your PCM. if there are wires coming off the back then it has a chip.
