MAN do i hate AUTO TRANNYS. They suck big time. Well not really. yes those are the codes i had. So once again holding for over a week now. The ford dealer advised me to install a 20A fuse. They said this fixes it. But why????? The truck has 120 on the speedo and runs perfectly and shifts like a dream. I hate these troubles with a passion. If the short was hard it would be easy. BUT NO THE MF has to be intermittent. Well i am so greatful for all your guys for posting. Foe i think at this point i will never find out what happened. Do you think the circuit is overloaded??? I cant see why as ford designed it this way. But one never knows. I am thinking the tranny solenoids are the issue but not 100% as the dam car is still running GREAT!!!  What a headache!!!! I was thinking of separating the tranny from the circuit. Thoughts!!!!

Thanks Foe those tranny prints are great. As you can see i have no clue when an AUTO TRANNY is involved.

Unless you want to end up mired in Pinpoint Z, you might as well return to customer, and monitor the situation.  I'm sure you've got other vehicles to attend to.

+1    I've had fuses blow a couple of times over the years where I replaced the fuse and never had the problem again.

I got it Bryan but if it blows the car is going to run like real bad and the women might PANIC. I an trying to figure out how a fuse blows for no apparent reason and then holds after replacement. It makes no sense. Fuses do not blow for no reason. Just saying. But i am thinking you may be correct but WHY!!!!

Thanks foe i can see you have been down this road once or twice. You sir feel my pain. But you were very helpful to me as i did not know that SR55E thing was the valve body solenoids. I hate auto trannys and you helped me a lot. Thanks FOE. Now once again i will try and break down the circuits to smaller groups. Thanks!!

I made it all the way through Z once.  It was horrible.  Now I spend my hour and If I can't get it to act up, I explain it to the customer and ship it.  Sounds bad, but I can't lose like that on a regular basis and still make a living.

Once again, I'd be checking the wiring to those o2's, making sure they didn't burn on the exhaust or wear against the front driveshaft, especially where the harness follows the cross member. This is most likely your problem. I'd also check the O2's themselves, to make sure the body of them isn't broken (common in rusty areas where the body of the sensor rusts and breaks).
