Checking and Replacing Fuses in Ford E-150 / E-250 / E-350 / E-450
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 electrical parts, check the appropriate fuses or circuit breakers.
If you need to check a fuse, follow these steps:
- You can access the fuse panel through the steering column lower opening. Remove the cover using the quick release fasteners.
- On the fuse panel cover, find the number of the fuse you want to check. The diagram on the cover tells you where to locate the fuse on the panel.
- 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.
- Replace the fuse with one that has the right amperage rating.
- Put the fuse panel cover back on.
Even after you replace a fuse, it will continue to blow if you do not find what caused the overload. If the fuse continues to blow, have your electrical system checked.
Caution!
- 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.
- Always disconnect the battery before servicing high current fuses.
- Always replace the cover to the Power Distribution Box before reconnecting the battery or refilling fluid reservoirs.
- Ford recommends that high current fuses be replaced by a qualified technician.
