The Side View Of A Fuse; Circuit Breakers - Ford Vehicle Owner's Manual

The side view of a fuse

4. Replace the fuse with one that has the right
amperage rating (see previous chart).
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.
5. 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.

Circuit Breakers

If you need to check a circuit breaker on the
fuse panel, see Checking and replacing fuses to
find out how to locate the fuse panel. Otherwise,
locate the circuit breaker according to the
instructions on the charts given earlier in this
chapter.
Since you need diagnostic equipment to check
whether a circuit breaker works and such
equipment comes with instructions, we do not
discuss how to check circuit breakers.
