In this article, you will find information about the fuses of the Ford Escort (model 1996), including diagrams of the fuse boxes, a list of fuses and relays, their designation, and the location of the fuse blocks within the vehicle.
Checking and Replacing Fuses in Ford Escort
If electrical parts in your vehicle are not working, the system may have been overloaded and blown a fuse. If a fuse blows, all the parts of your vehicle that use the fuse will not work.
Your vehicle has two fuse panels. The interior fuse panel is below the instrument panel in front of the driver’s door. The main panel is under the hood behind the battery. To remove and replace a fuse, use the fuse puller tool provided.
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.
