Wikdwest, Is the CJB the fuse box just to the left of the steering wheel? I understand it has a fuel relay attached to the back of it? What year is your Ex? Thank you very much!

Yes, under steering wheel by your knees. I have a 2004 V10 Limited. Takes about 15 minutes to get out.

The CJB (fuse box) was moved to under the steering column for the 2002 model year Excur.
The fuel pump power relay is soldered to the bottom of the fuse box.
The fuse box can be removed and the relay replaced.
Also, there are ways to rewire the circuit to utilize an external/replaceable relay without removing the CJB.
The "short in the fuse box" that tstory was talking about 2 months ago sounds like a generic "it's broken" diagnosis by the dealer.
If the fuel pump power relay goes bad it's probably because the relay contacts are corroded to the point enough current can't flow thru it.
The OEM relay is rated 20A and I think the current drawn by the fuel (.8 ohm load) is 15A.
I used a 40A rated relay when I rewired my circuit to use an external relay.

Thanks for that! I'll pull out the Fuse Box and check it. Then I'll decide how to proceed. Thank you very much.

I am having your same exact problem you stated earlier in this thread.

Stalling and intermittently starting could be either the fuel pump relay or pump (among various other things).
Replacing the CJB with a used one just brings in used relays.
Monitoring the voltage at the Inertia Switch is the easiest point to see if the problem is electrical before or after the Inertia Switch.
Before the Inertia Switch it would most likely be the fuel pump relay.
After the Inertia Switch the issue could be a loose connector, corroded wiring, broken wire, short to ground.
If power is good to the pump and the pressure is low at the fuel rail test port the pump is probably going or the filter is clogged.
The pressure at the fuel rail test port could be good, but if there is a clog the pressure could drop while running.
Tapping the fuel tank can sometimes shake a sticking fuel pump enough to get it started.

I can be going 15 or 70 and it will die. It won't crank going down the road if I put it in neutral but if I stop and put it in park it will crank. Sometimes I can go 50-100 miles before it does it and sometimes I can go 3 miles and it does it.
There just seems to be no rhyme or reason when it happens.

Stalling FIXED!

It's been a year since I found and fixed the problem and no stalling since. I sent in the fuse box to have the fuel relay changed and upgraded. There are a few companies that will do it. I paid $129. Best $129 I ever spent. Here's the link: https://www.automotivecircuitsolutio...use-box-repair

I would have the fuel relay replaced. I was going to send mine off to this guy on ebay but found a local guy parting out same excursion as mine. The fuse box I got from him was newer based on the part number.

I still may send my old box to him to have a spare.

The problem there would be if it does it again you won't know if it's the used fuse box/relay you just installed.

Ford V10 random stalling issue

Originally Posted by wikdwest

It won't restart in neutral while rolling but if i pull over to the side of the road and put it in park it will start right up. The last time it happened was 5 months ago and then twice yesterday. Nothing common in the different instances and i have no way to replicate it.

From my research on this forum and the great google, it seems that the throttle positioning sensor and crankshaft positioning sensor are two common reasons that this could happen. one post i read was about the crankshaft positioning sensor would fail when it got hot and would work when the temperature dropped.

If anyone has any other ideas or input i would gladly appreciate it.

Thanks
My truck randomly stalls at different speeds. Pull over and it fires right back up. May go 2 days and wont stall. Then will stall 3 times in one day.

I replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, Throttle Position Sensor, Cam Position Sensor, and Crank Position sensor before I had the fuse box/fuel pump relay rebuilt for $129 which solved the problem. I wish someone would have stressed to TRY THAT FIRST! You're Welcome!

Thanks
