The last pic is the offending part its a circuit breaker of sorts, get a new one should solve all your problems.

Check the female side of the relay block, they can sometimes spread a little and not make proper contact with the male terminals. I had the same problem a while back, pushed the female fins a touch closer together with a small screwdriver and done the job.

I'll put my money on the circuit breaker.. it should slot into the side of the relay block..
As Dellboy said.. About $27 from Ford, less from a wrecker or auto shop..
