Hello! I am a newbie. I am also completely ignorant when it comes to engines. I bought a 1994 F250 7.3 (which I think is Powerstroke, though I could be wrong), I've driven it about three times, and twice it's broken down.
The first time, I had it towed to Sears. They said it was a blown fuse (like I said, I am ignorant) and replaced it. Fine. The very next day, it broke down again. I assume it's the same problem (the battery works, but the engine won't even try to start), but I don't have a clue what fuse to get or where to put it. And if I replace it, what happens when it goes out again?
Short story, here's what I need: a diagram of the fuse box (an owner's manual would be even better), and any clue about what might be causing these fuses to blow. Any books or websites that explain the F250 engine to the complete idiot would be wonderful! Can any of y'all help me?

Plus the only difference between an IDI 7.3 and a Powerstroke are the PSD has a turbo so its the same.

sounds like a bit of bad luck.you might wanna try your starter solenoid located on the passenger side quarter panel.
