2013 ford f150 advancetrac light fix 

You've made a lot of Ford truck owners happy, including me.

I am from Venezuela and I solved my issue on my Ford Explorer 2013 doing what you did (cleaning positive side of my battery), thank you so much my friend, it was amazing!!!

Sir Anthony, I want to take this time and just say, Thank you. I googled so much on my own with no avail, I was thinking and dreading the 1200+ down the drain. And your experience helped me. I’m sure you have helped a lot of people out with this. God bless brotha.

My neighbor had the same issue after he had a local auto parts store replaced a dead battery but they blew out this fuse. They then replaced the fuse but they neglected to hook up both wires on negative terminal. He was about to have it towed to a dealership. This video helped me resolve the issue. We saved him $$$. You did real good for your first video. Thanks.

Thanks a million man! Solved and fixed my issue. I drove my truck with no power steering for 3 days was hating thinking about taking it in to get fixed... you where the only guy that showed a video of this problem

Thank you for this video!! You saved me a big headache!! I never knew that part was even there.

I live in Long Beach and you just saved my skin. Thank you so much!!

DUDE!!!!! You are a fucking lifesaver!!!!!! I’ve been scratching my head all day trying to figure this out as FORD is closed right now so I couldn’t take it to Ford and you just save my ass thank you very much I’ve got a 2012 Shelby GT 500 and none of these mustang guys knew what it was of course it had to be a truck guy to figure it out for me

You saved me on this!!! I went to the dealer and they wanted to install a whole new ABS traction system $1500 BS!!!! this was $40 :) Worked like a charm!!! CRAZY!!

Thanks bro! Your a life saver. Happened to me just today on my 2014 EcoBoost with 6inch lift on 35s. So you can imagine the struggle I had to drive it home without power steering. Exact symptoms you described. But my fuse wasn’t blown. However, was the exact same apparatus. Just needed cleaning and retightened. Without your video, I wouldn’t of known where to start.

I know you made this a while but had to like and comment. Great Job with your first upload. Well informed and explained. Thanks again Boston Billy

Dude I looked everywhere until I found your video! Thanks man!

Thank You so much for this video. Helped tremendously in diagnosing.

The issue with my 2012 F150 was intermittent advancetrac warning and also blinker issues. No blown fuse, all the connections at the hot terminal post had become oxidized. Some sand paper and a small dremel stone cured my issue.

Thank you thank you thank you !!!! I have a 2014 f150 and the exact same problem ... you are awesome!!!!!

Thank you! While mine hadn’t actually blown the fuse, I found the nut on the left side was loose. This was what was giving me an intermittent Advancetrack code and scary lack of power steering along with it!

Congrats on your 1st video. Blown fuse 90% of the times is a safety solution to prevent a bigger damage, it’s not the problem even though replacing it seems to solve the obvious problems. If that problem happened after you went 4 wheeling in the mud possibly the problem could be water getting in and shorting a sensor or something else that caused the blown fuse. That’s what I’m trying to find (location of sensors) of the advance track in an explorer :-) good luck

Never heard of that solution, but thanks for telling us how to find and fix it.

Thank you so much for saving me a trip to the stealership

THANK YOU for your video this gives me a place to start have same problem

Solved my issue! I had been scratching my head checking fuses and looking for resolutions for awhile. It happened right after I had the battery disconnected to do spark plugs. Didn't know there was fuses there and on my car they are pointing down not out like yours.

You sir just saved me money! Thank you!

Thank you so much. This video just saved me $2600

Keep these videos coming. I drive 3 different models of Fords.

Thanks alot man. You saved me hours of diag.

Thank you for this... it saved me a trip to the shop... Thank you Thank you Thank you.....

I get the A-T light every once in a while, and it has always 'cleared' itself; doesn't affect power steering, just turn signals; to date, I've been keeping my fingers crossed; so I am very happy to find your video to give me something to check in case the A-T goes out altogether. Thanks!

2011 F150, 3.5 EcoBoost with same issues after battery change. Thanks a million. Wasn't fuse but bad connection somewhere, I cleaned every terminal and all is good so far, time will tell if it re-occurs.

Great video I never knew there was a battery fuse appreciate the heads up. I'm having the same issue on top of a driver side wheel bearing that I just paid $435 to fix. My speed sensor will arrive today hopefully they'll fix my Advanced warning and tracking light issues if not that battery fuse will be next on top of wiring issues leading to my ABS module thanks again. It never seems to fail issues with my car pops up close to emission and safety test time.

Good job Man! I think you just solved my problem.

The only thing I would be concerned about is that fuses generally do not just "blow" for no reason. Something in the system is causing resistance, loss of voltage, and/or increase of amperage. You can stick a new fuse in, but the odds of it simply popping again sooner or later are fairly high. Eventually you will just be blowing $40 fuses down the drain. In addition to everything you did here, I would at least climb under the truck and check all plug connections, and add a little dielectric grease to each plug associated with the power steering to ensure low resistance. Also just in case anyone is wondering, there are generally two reasons these electric power steering systems fail. One of them is heat, the other reason is moisture (if you drive in water 10 inches or more). This system is "water resistant" but not waterproof. If I purchased a Ford with one of these systems, the first thing I would do is add dielectric grease to all the plugs associated with the system, and probably run a bead of silicone around any areas where the parts were put together. There are videos on youtube documenting the corrosion inside these units from water. There is also videos on youtube documenting the excessive heat levels on the electronics as they are often near catalytic converters and turbos. I am not sure how to solve the heat issue except maybe to wrap the exhaust with a heat shield wrap near the electric power-steering unit and/or maybe try to fabricate additional heat shielding from aluminum.

Thank you for this video.

I have a 2013 ecoboost and this solved the problem. Thanks a lot man.

I have the same problem, no power steering, no traction control and no blinker. but I checked the fuse with voltmeter and it seems to be good and doesnt look like its blown, wonder if it would be grounding issue and where its located. on a 2013 f150 ecoboost

Same exact thing is going on with my F-150 when I changed out the battery early this year.

To install a new one do you need to disconnect the whole battery or just the bolts that hold the fuse?

Safe my life brother🙏🏼 had the same issue no power steering same dash lights with the Service Advance Trac and Downhill, no Turn Signal would stay on due to Power Saving sistem , plus Hill Descent Controll… all of that start to happen due to a rough bump! My Battery Fuse was damaged from one on the screws that connects to a terminal and was loose making false contact and not giving enough energy supply and malfunction to my Steering system. Solution: Replacing Battery Fuse 125A 250A part (full terminal part w fuses) after that just turned on my 2013 Ford F150 and boom 💥 everything working like new

Hi, I'm sorry English writing, I had the same problem with my Ford F150 Super Crew 2011 it started when I was driving on mud it showed diferents codes. service advance trac, overtemp water, low oil pressure and check 4x4 solved checking wire harnesses, clean ground connections, remove mud, check fuse box, dry sensors disconnect battery hope can help it!

Service Advancetrac light came on last nite, my f150 stalled on me completely when I pressed the gas pedal to speed up. I studied the videos on here and I checked the fuses, ground wires, circuit breakers, fuel lines, etc., hooked up a hand held diagnostic reader and it didn't give me no codes. I need some answers. What do u think is the problem?

Where did you you buy the part for your truck

Very helpful.had the same thing happened to my 2012 with the 5.0. But i still had power steering.

So this isn't the direct problem I'm having but I'm starting to think it may relate and I'm looking for advice. I have a 2012 F150 XLT 3.5 EcoBoost. Currently I'm having trouble with left brake light and blinker not working and I've checked all the bulbs and sockets as well as grounding wires. The reason I ask for advice is periodically I will get the "service Advancetrac" warning and my blinker has the same one blink issue but my power steering does NOT go out. Could these two issues be related or would it simply be a new brake light harness? Added note: running lights work on the brake lights but when I got to drive they no longer work.

Just bumped to your video . Question what's the procedure of changing the part just pop it off and replace it? With out taking the negative terminal off?

Where did you buy the fuses for the tracking system I only have issues with tracking. My tires just keep spinning no traction

How can you tell the fuse is blown

Great video

What caused the fuse to blow, any idea? Nice work.

how did you checked the fuse? by looking?

Thanks for the info!!! Now keep that truck motor clean

I'm having the same kind of loss of power result within message and the wrench 🔧 light.

That light came on earlier on my 2011 V8 F150 that says service advance trac. But it drove fine and I couldn’t tell anything was wrong, I shut it off and restarted it and the light went off. But it was my first time seeing that message.

very effective video for being the first thanks

Thanks for this video

Did the fuse or the number 76 fuse blow after putting it into 4H?

Nice video, anything that I can do that’s keeps me away from paying a mechanic $150.00/hr I love. Thanks!

Need help! I bought a Ford Expedition and the abs and advance trac lights show every time. The thing is that the battery does not have that fuse or breaker, not even the red cap or wires that connect that fuse. I need to know the name of that thing to buy it. What should I order?

Same truck same issue thanks

Dude, you are the man. Owe you some 🍺 for that save on my truck.

What is that fuse part called

What is this part called or # (battery fuse) that you replaced. Thank you in advance!

homie u save me a couple hundreds thanks

I had this happen to my 2014 Mustang. I only lost power steering. I replaced that circuit breaker assembly and it now purrs like a kitten. Thanks for your video

Good job

Thank you

Is this work with flex?

My 2013 I had in shop for miner problems put new brakes all around new hub on front now it say that the down hill desent is at fault help please and thanks

I have this exact problem except my power steering still works and my fuse is fine so weird

thanks that happen to me with my Ford F150 2011 code U0131. That was caused by a short that I did by accident. Tomorrow I will go to buy the part I hope works. Thanks

So what’s the name of the part

Good Man!

Whats the name of the part/ fuse replaced?

What would I call this when I go looking for it?

Hey my truck is doing that exact thing but it doesn't look like the fuse is blown

Why were you considering changing the rack and pinion for this advance-trac warning before you found the problem? On my 2013 F150 I just had three Alarms show, advance-trac, hill decent control fault and ABS light but still the truck runs fine. I’m bewildered. Thanks for the video, I did check my fuse and everything is ok.

Dam thats a dirty ass engine lol

Yup mine started this crap too

Wow, thanks

Thanks

Thanks!! Saved me a lot of worry! Subscribing!

What is that part called?

2010 fusion still got power steering but brakes will feel like they are breaking before light comes on for advtrac. Once lights on no problem

Mine comes on randomly. I don’t lose power steering when it comes on, only the blinkers. Any ideas?

I have a 2010 Ford fusion saying same exact thing. Advance Trac and power steering. I did replace power steering and it didn't fix the problem. Is there the same fuse near my battery?

Hey i was wondering where did you get the part, ford said they only sell the whole harness and autozone doesnt carry it...

So whats that fuse actually called.

But why did the fuse blow?

Will it work in a 2012 explorer truck? The part that my truck carries is different but it seems that its function is the same, it also appears on the screen to do advance track service and it deactivates me in the rsc system and it is hard, the address sometimes works well and sometimes the witnesses turn on. the same?

My 2012 will f150 3.5 will turn on power, but won't crank. Screen says service advance trac and trailer module fault. All fuses are good. I stuck.

I changed the same fuse on my 13, 5.0 4x4 f150 and the service advance trac went off. Truck ran great until i shut it off,started it back up same problem with serv adv trac. Neither fuse was blown can anyone help

Anyone know the part numbernto the fuse he replaced?

What is the fuse part #

Mine says *low tire pressure and *check brake system along with *service advancetrac and I have all of those lights on including ABS and TCS which I fixed but the light is still on

I was watching this video while driving down the road, when he opened his door and the chime was going off I was looking around thinking it was mine, I know, i'm an idiot!

Can someone help, I’ve have this issue for years and light goes on and off by itself only thing is turn signals won’t stay on. I’ve tried almost everything

What is a part number

What's the part number??? Thanks! 👍👍👍💰

What's the part name

That truck 2013 ??? Look like 1993

Man i hope thats my problem although my syptoms arent the same

Could you please state the part number or name of fuse? Only available at Ford?? Auto zone?
