In this article, you will find information about the fuses of the Ford Ranger (models 1998, 1999, and 2000), including diagrams of the fuse boxes, a list of fuses, their designation, and the location of the fuse blocks within the vehicle.
Checking and Replacing Fuses in Ford Ranger
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 cover.
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.
Location of Fuse Boxes
Passenger Compartment Fuse Panel:
The fuse panel is located on the left hand side of the instrument panel facing the driver’s side door. Pull the panel cover outward to access the fuses.
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.
