If the power steering fluid is low, do not drive
your vehicle for a long period of time before
adding fluid. This can damage the power
steering pump.

If you check the power steering fluid when it is
cold, make sure that the fluid reaches the FULL
COLD range on the dipstick (3.0L Vulcan) or
MIN on the reservoir (3.0L Duratec). The
reading will only be accurate if the fluid
temperature is approximately50ÊF to 85ÊF
(10ÊC to 30ÊC).

Fuses and Relays
[SV32915(ALL)04/95]
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.
[SV33400(ALL)02/95]
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.
*
[SV33410(ALL)02/95]
Once you have determined which fuses to check,
follow the procedures underChecking and
replacing fuseslater in this chapter.

[SV33500(ALL)05/93]
RWARNING
Always remove the key from the
ignition before working on or
replacing fuses. Failure to do so
could result in injury.
