99 f250 7.3 powerstroke keeps blowing, (the book says) fuel heater, wastegate solenoid, and injecto driver module relay coil fuse keeps blowing when you turn on ignition switch. Any suggestions?

 

ya, unplug the fuel bowl heater and replace the fuse..

 

ok how do i do that sry new to the power stroke thing. and will i need the fuel heater cus its 7 degrees out right now?

 

you will need it but this will determine if thats whats blowing the fuse.

 

it's probably the bowl heater....

 

I agree, if your GP's are good it should still start without issue

 

my truck did that. unhook the bowl heater and replace that 2 dollar fuse one more time and see if it blows! that keep ya going til you get it repaired...

 

Leave it unhooked, you won't need it,

On back of fuel bowl you will see 2 wires plug into it, unplug it it and be done

 

General consensus is leave it unplugged, however I replaced mine when it went out. The replacement at IH was about $24 IIRC, when you pull out the old one you will see the design improvement they made on the new one. Just leave it unplugged until the next time you change your fuel filter and change the heater while you're in there, really simple to do. Mine did the same thing, it died, wouldn't start, #9 fuse kept blowing, unplugged heater and it ran great! But like I said I put in a new one, been fine since.

 

Hi again, W.

The fuel heater plug is white, two wires. Found near the base of the fuel filter housing on the back (passenger compartment side), as shown here, if the link works.

Be sure to trace back all wires of the components you mentioned, as I had 4 frayed and barely intact wires and 1 completely broken one...one was to the IPR sensor, which causes "problems".
