2018 Raptor TCM fuze instantly blows

[anderj84]

I have a 2018 Raptor and while I was driving the trans went out of gear all the lights started flashing and the truck would not go back into gear. I pulled off the road and shut the truck off to see if it would reset the system. It would not start. The TCM fuse was blown and as soon as I touched the new one to the terminal it blew. When I checked the codes it was a U0101 which is the TCM. I cleared the code and now the reader is telling me that most of the system is not conducting it's normal diagnostics upon start. I have checked all the wires and they all look good. I was wondering if anyone has had an issue like this and what may be the issue.

Welcome to FRF. Please post pictures of said prius with TCM issues.

What modifications have been done to the truck? Tuned? Lights? Any recent engine work? Maybe a pinched wire.

You really gave us zero information.

You probably purchased a flood vehicle…

you have a short somewhere. When you say all the wires look good, what does that mean? Did you ring them out with a multimeter or just look for damage?

You’ll need to diagnose the root cause of the fuse opening. You either have a shorted TCM or wiring damage.
