[ER00200( ALL)01/96]
The flashers work whether your vehicle is
running or not. The flashers work for up to two
hours when the battery is fully charged and in
good condition without draining the battery
excessively. If the flashers run for longer than
two hours or if the battery is not fully charged,
the battery can be drained.

[ER00500( ALL)05/96]
Fuses (conventional and high current) and circuit
breakers 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 or tripped a
circuit breaker. Before you replace or repair any
electrical parts, check the appropriate fuses
(conventional and high current) or circuit
breakers.
*
[ER00600( ALL)12/95]
The following charts tell you which fuses or
circuit breakers protect the wiring for each
electrical part of your vehicle. If a fuse blows or
a circuit breaker opens a circuit,allthe parts of
your vehicle that use that circuit will not work.

Checking and Replacing Fuses
*
[ER04500( ALL)01/96]
If you need to check a fuse, follow these steps:
[ER04800( GV)12/95]
1. Find the fuse panel to the left of the steering
column. Remove the fuse panel cover to
expose the fuse panel.
[ER05000( BCGV)12/95]
2. Check the fuse to see if it is blown. Look
through the clear side of the fuse to see if
the metal wire inside is separated. If it is,
the fuse should be replaced.

RWARNING
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.
[ER06200( GV)05/96]
4. Replace the lower steering column fuse panel
cover.
*
[ER06300( BCGV)04/96]
Even after you replace a fuse, it may continue to
blow if you do not find what caused the
overload. If the fuse continues to blow, have
your electrical system checked.

Fuse Links
[ER07100( GV)12/95]
Fuse links are circuit protectors that are part of
the wiring harness for some electrical equipment.
These, like fuses, open when the circuit lead
exceeds their amperage rating. Fuse links may be
purchased from your Ford or Lincoln-Mercury
dealer. See the following charts to find out
which electrical parts are protected by a fuse
link.

Fuel System Shut-off Switch
[ER07500( ALL)05/96]
If the engine cranks but does not start or does
not start after a collision, the fuel system shut-off
switch may have been activated. The shut-off
switch is a device intended to stop the fuel
system when your vehicle has been involved in
a substantial jolt.

[ER07600( BCGV)04/96]
Once the shut-off switch is activated, you must
reset the switch by hand before you can start
your vehicle. The switch is on the left side of the
trunk.
