Ford Service Bulletin #15-0137 may apply to this problem

Ford has issued a service bulletin #15-0137 to address a Ford F150 no-start issue. The bulletin identifies a problem with fuse #27 in the battery junction box. The problem may be due to excessive heat at Fuse #27. Ford has issued a fuse relocation kit to solve the problem.
Remove the junction box cover and inspect the terminals on the fuel pump relay and fuse #27. If the terminals on the fuse or relay show signs of overheating, obtain the Ford Fuse Relocation kit #EL3Z-14293-A from any Ford dealer. Follow the fuse relocation instructions in the kit. Replace the fuel pump relay.

Next, check for battery power on the blue wire at any of the fuel injectors with the engine running. Power is provided to all fuel injectors, fuel pump control module and fuel pump itself from the fuel pump relay. The fuel injectors are fired by the PCM grounding each injector, one at a time.
2. Monitor the voltage of the Blue (BU) wire at any fuel injector connector when the vehicle is driven, to verify that battery power is maintained as the vehicle is driven, to determine if there is a potential failure of the circuit from the fuel pump relay to the injector connections.
