[ER00460(ALL)01/96]
RWARNING
Always replace a fuse with one that has
the specified amperage rating. Using a
fuse with a higher amperage rating can
cause severe wire damage and could start
a fire.
[ER00470(ALL)01/96]
Access to the trailer tow fuse is through the rear
most storage compartment in the side trim
panel. This is on the left for all Aerostar models.

1. Remove the screws located inside the
compartment and take off the access hole
cover.
[ER00480(ALL)01/96]

Circuit Breakers
[ER00515(ALL)01/96]
If you need to check a circuit breaker, locate the
fuse panel first. Otherwise, locate the circuit
breaker according to the instructions on the
charts given earlier in this chapter.
*
[ER00520(ALL)01/96]
However, you should know that the circuit
breakers will reset themselves and allow the
electrical parts to work again once the overload
on the circuit is removed. If the circuit breakers
continue to cut off electricity, have your vehicle's
electrical system checked.
*
[ER00525(ALL)01/96]
Diagnostic equipment is needed to check circuit
breakers. Refer to the manufacturer's
instructions.
[ER00530(ALL)01/96]
If you replace a circuit breaker, use one with the
same amperage rating. To remove a circuit
breaker, grip it with your finger and thumb and
pull it straight out of its socket.

Changing a Tire
*
[ER03700(ALL)02/96]
If you get a flat tire while you are driving, do
not apply the brake heavily. Instead, gradually
decrease the speed. Hold the steering wheel
firmly and slowly move to a safe place on the
side of the road. Park on a level spot, turn off
the ignition, set the parking brake, and turn on
the hazard flashers.

The Conventional Spare Tire
*
[ER03900(ALL)05/96]
If you have the conventional spare tire, you can
use it as a spare or as a regular tire. This spare
tire is identical to the other tires that come with
your vehicle, although the wheel may not match.

The Temporary Spare Tire
%*
[ER04100(ALL)02/96]
You may have a high pressure temporary spare
tire. This spare tire is smaller than a regular tire
and is designed for emergency use only. Use it
only when you get a flat tire and replace it as
soon as you can. This spare tire is marked with
the words ªTEMPORARY USE ONLYº so that
you can easily identify it.
*
[ER04200(ALL)02/96]
RWARNING
If you use the temporary spare tire
continuously or do not follow these
precautions, the tire could fail, causing
you to lose control of the vehicle, possibly
injuring yourself or others.
[ER04250(ALL)01/96]
RWARNING
The tire size on the E-4WD must be
maintained.
[ER04260(ALL)01/96]
Your vehicle may have a full diameter mini
spare or a full size tire. This full diameter mini
spare is special for the E-4WD and another mini
spare from another vehicle can not be
substituted without the possibility of damage to
your vehicle. All tires should be inflated to the
manufacturer's recommended pressures.
*
[ER04275(ALL)05/96]
RWARNING
To avoid injury, never run the engine
with one wheel off the ground, such as
when changing a tire.
*
[ER04280(ALL)01/96]
Extended use of other than matching size spare
tires on a Traction-Lok axle could result in a
permanent reduction in effectiveness. This loss of
effectiveness does not affect normal driving and
should not be noticeable to the driver.
