This
automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist
owners of the 6th generation (2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 & 2014) Ford
Taurus sedan in troubleshooting an electrical problem by checking or
changing a blown fuse or relay in either the engine bay or interior
passenger compartment panels. Owners of other Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles with similar fuse boxes such as the Fiesta, Fusion, Focus, C-Max, Mustang, Escape, Transit Connect, Explorer, Edge, Expedition, Flex, MKS, MKZ, MKT, MKX, Navigator, Milan, Grand Marquis, Mariner and Mountaineer may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. Replacement mini blade fuses or relays in a variety of amperage ratings (e.g. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25) can be purchased at retail stores such as Advance Auto Parts, Napa, Pep Boys, Wal-Mart or online at Amazon. A white plastic fuse puller tool is included on the underside of the interior fuse box cover. |

The engine bay fuse
box is located on the right side of the engine bay next to the 12V

Place Tool Over Fuse |
Hold Fuse Up To Light |
Push In New Fuse |
Squeeze together
the fuse puller tool and place the jaws over the fuse you'd like to check or
replace. Pull the old fuse straight out of the socket and hold it up to a light source. If the metal bar in the middle of the old fuse appears broken or appears "burnt" then the fuse has "blown" and should be replaced with a new one. If the metal strip inside the fuse appears to be intact, the fuse may still be good. But since new fuses are so inexpensive, either way it should still be replaced as part of your electrical problem troubleshooting process. Push a new mini blade fuse of the same amperage rating (E.G. 5, 10, 15, 20) straight in to the socket on the block. |
