Fuses And Relays - Mercury 1996 Sable Manual

Fuses and Relays

Fuses (conventional and high current) and relays
protect your vehicle's wiring system from
overloading. If electrical parts in your vehicle are
not working, the system may have been
overloaded and blown a fuse. Before you replace
or repair any electrical parts, check the
appropriate circuit protector. High current fuses
should only be repaired or replaced by your
Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealer.
The following charts tell you which circuit
protector protects each electrical part of your
vehicle. If a fuse blows, all the parts of your
vehicle that use the circuit will not work.
Once you have determined which fuses to check,
follow the procedures under Checking and
replacing fuses later in this chapter.
Always remove the key from the
ignition before working on or
replacing fuses. Failure to do so
could result in injury.
