If you must check the power steering fluid when it is cold,
make sure that the fluid reaches at least the minimum (MIN)
mark. The reading will only be accurate if the fluid temperature
is approximately 70Ê to100ÊF (21Ê to 38ÊC).

Fuses, Fuse Links and Circuit Breakers
[SV35400(ALL)05/95]
Fuses, fuse links and circuit breakers protect your vehicle's
electrical system from overloading. If electrical parts in your
vehicle are not working, the system may have been overloaded
causing a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker. Before you
replace or repair any electrical parts, check the appropriate fuses
or circuit breakers.
[SV35500(ALL)01/93]
The following charts tell you which fuses or circuit breakers
protect each electrical part of your vehicle. If a fuse blows or a
circuit breaker trips (opens) a circuit, all the parts of your
vehicle that use that circuit will not work.
*
[SV35600(ALL)06/95]
Once you have determined which fuses or circuit breakers to
check, follow the procedures underChecking and replacing fuses
orChecking and replacing circuit breakerslater in this chapter.
[SV35700(ALL)09/95]
NOTE: Fuse links should only be repaired by your Ford or
Lincoln-Mercury dealer.

Check the fuse to see if it is blown. Look through the clear
side of the fuse to see if the metal wire inside is separated. If
it is, the fuse is blown and should be replaced.

Circuit Breakers
[SV38000(ALL)01/93]
If you need to check a circuit breaker that is on the fuse panel,
seeFuses, checking and replacingin the Index to find out how to
locate the fuse panel.
[SV38100(ALL)01/93]
Since you need diagnostic equipment to check whether a circuit
breaker works and such equipment comes with instructions, we
do not discuss how to check circuit breakers. If you have
questions about circuit breakers or how to check them, see your
Lincoln-Mercury dealer.

[SV38200(ALL)10/92]
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.
