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.
