I just had the Front brakes and rotors and stab links replaced on my F150 this past Friday. I also had a dual exahuast with glasspack mufflers put on as well. I got the truck back and now my 5 amp fuse keeps blowing. It will not let me shift out of park and my dome light and power windows will not work either. My brake lights are still working. Any idea as to what the issue is? I have never had an electrical problem with my truck and suspect that the repair shop screwed something up by shorting something out or dislodging a wire or something. Thanks Rob

Just an FYI. I figured out what it was that was causing the 5 amp ABS fuse to blow. It had ended up being a bad Brake pressure switch located in the master cylinder. I think that to mouch brake fluid was added and it was reaching the sensor when the brakes were applied and caused it to short out.

Glad you found it, and that could have done it.

Let us know if you have questions in the future.
