My 2000 Expo keeps blowing the #13 fuse as soon as I put it in. I checked all the bulbs and I did find that the brake lights on the hatch were in really bad shape. I did put new sockets and bulbs, but it did not help. Now I am about to change the brake switch and hope it will fix my problem. The #13 fuse is for my brake, signals and hazard lights. The cruise control is also on this fuse. I recently had the dealer change out the cruise control recall switch thinking maybe that was the problem too. That didn't help. The only other thing wrong is the odometer reading comes and goes every now and then. Oh I forgot to mention that I did change the multifunction switch too. Question- I did find that that two of the wires that plug into the mutifunction switch were not locked in to the socket or plug that goes into the mutifunctin switch, would that cause a short blowing that fuse?

Bumping an old thread...

I have this exact same problem, haven't had a chance to start diagnosing yet. Fuse 13 is blown, put a new one in and it blew instantly.

Other problems I have had lingering since new are odometer light going on and off, door locks don't seem to be getting enough power, sunroof has never worked, horn sounds weak.

Sounds like electrical gremlins but maybe unrelated...
