Fuses, Fuse Links and Circuit Breakers
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.
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.
Once you have determined which fuses or circuit breakers to
check, follow the procedures underChecking and replacing fusesor
Checking and replacing circuit breakerslater in this chapter.
NOTE: Fuse links should only be repaired by your Ford or
Lincoln-Mercury dealer.

4. Use the fuse puller tool to remove the blown fuse and replace
the fuse with one that has the right amperage rating (see the
fuse panel cover for amperage ratings).
WARNING
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.
5. Put the fuse panel cover back on.
Even after you replace a fuse, it may continue to blow if you do
not find what caused the overload. If the fuse continues to
blow, have your electrical system checked.
The following chart indicates the colors and amperage ratings of
standard fuses.
