2013 F-150 5.0.
About 2-3 times a year it’ll randomly decide not to start. Turn the key and the starter will spin and it’ll sound like it’s trying not to start, might even sputter a time or two, but won’t fire up.
I know there’s a common problem with Fuse 27 which controls the fuel pump, but I checked the fuse and it’s fine. Even swapped in a different fuse to be sure and no luck. The battery is a couple of years old but it doesn’t act weak or slow to start prior to one of these instances. Last time (back in July) we hooked a jump box to it and it fired right up. This time, a jump box wouldn’t crank it, but a set of jumper cables hooked to wife’s car fired it right up. Drove it home, turned it off and cranked it again and it cranked no problem.
No CEL or anything.
Any ideas? I’m hesitant to blame the battery because like I said, it’s been 5 months since it last happened and no issues since until last night.
