moved from P (Park) with the brake pedal
depressed:

[SV35875(M GV)03/95]
Use only power steering fluid that meets Ford
Specification MerconHATF XT-2-QDX.
*
[SV35900( ALL)01/95]
If the power steering fluid is low, do not drive
your vehicle for a long period of time before
adding fluid. This can damage the power
steering pump.
[SV36150( GV)03/93]
If you must check the power steering fluid when
it is cold, make sure that the fluid reaches the
MIN mark on the reservoir.

[SV36400( ALL)03/95]
Fuses (conventional and high current) and circuit
breakers protect your vehicle's wiring system
from overloading. If electrical parts in your
vehicle are not working, the system may have
been overloaded and blown a fuse or tripped a
circuit breaker. Before you replace or repair any

(conventional and high current) or circuit
breakers.
*
[SV36600( ALL)03/95]
The following charts tell you which fuses or
circuit breakers protect the wiring for each
electrical part of your vehicle. If a fuse blows or
a circuit breaker opens a circuit,allthe parts of
your vehicle that use that circuit will not work.

High Current Fuses
*
[SV39200( ALL)01/95]
High current fuses are circuit protectors that are
part of the wiring harness for some electrical
equipment. These, like fuses, open when the
circuit load exceeds their amperage rating. High
current fuses may be purchased from your Ford
or Lincoln-Mercury dealer.
[SV39500( GV)06/94]
The high current fuse panel is located in the
engine compartment near the battery.
*
[SV39600( ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
Always disconnect the battery before
servicing high current fuses.
*
[SV39700( ALL)05/95]
Ford recommends that high current fuses be
replaced by a qualified technician.

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.
[SV42700( GV)12/91]
4. Replace the lower steering column finish
panel.
*
[SV42800( ALL)01/95]
Even after you replace a fuse, it will continue to

overload. If the fuse continues to blow, have
your electrical system checked.

Circuit Breakers
*
[SV43000( ALL)01/95]
If you need to check a circuit breaker that is on
the fuse panel, seeChecking and replacing fusesin
this chapter to find out how to locate the fuse
panel.
[SV43200( ALL)12/94]
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.
*
[SV43250( ALL)02/95]
Diagnostic equipment is needed to check circuit
breakers. Refer to the manufacturer's
instructions.
*
[SV43300( ALL)02/95]
If you replace a circuit breaker, use one with the
same amperage rating. To remove a circuit
breaker mounted in the fuse panel, grip it with
your finger and thumb and pull it straight out
of its socket.
*
[SV43800(M GV)02/95]
Since the circuit breaker for the headlamps is
mounted in the headlamp switch, you must
replace the entire switch to install a new circuit
breaker.
[SV43900( GV)06/93]
Fuse Links
[SV43950( GV)03/93]
Fuse links are circuit protectors that are part of
the wiring harness for some electrical equipment.
These, like fuses, open when the circuit lead
exceeds their amperage rating. Fuse links may be
purchased from your Ford or Lincoln-Mercury
dealer. See the following charts to find out
which electrical parts are protected by a fuse
link.
