In this article, you will find information about the fuses of the Ford Explorer (U152; models 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005), 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 Explorer If electrical components in the vehicle are not working, a fuse may have blown. Blown fuses are identified by a broken wire within the fuse. Check the appropriate fuses before replacing any electrical components. To remove a fuse use the fuse puller tool provided on the fuse panel box.
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. To reduce risk of electrical shock, always replace the cover to the Power Distribution Box before reconnecting the battery or refilling fluid reservoirs. Location of Fuse BoxesPassenger Compartment Fuse Panel: The fuse panel is located below the instrument panel on the driver’s side.
Passenger Compartment Fuse Panel (Top Side): These relays are located on the reverse side of the passenger compartment fuse panel. To access the relays you must remove the passenger compartment fuse panel. See your dealer or a certified technician for service of this relay box.
Rear Relay Box: The relay box is located on the rear passenger side quarter trim panel. To access this box you must remove the trim panel.
Power Distribution Box: The power distribution box is located in the engine compartment. The power distribution box contains high-current fuses that protect your vehicle’s main electrical systems from overloads.
Auxiliary Relay Box: The relay box is located on the front right fender well underneath the speed control module.
