engine damage. Ford Motor Company or

The pre-fuse box is in the engine
compartment attached to the positive battery
post. This box contains several high current
fuses. If you need to replace one of these
high current fuses, see an authorized dealer.
Power Distribution Box WARNINGS
Always disconnect the battery before
servicing high current fuses.
To reduce risk of electrical shock,
always replace the cover to the power
distribution box before reconnecting the
battery or refilling fluid reservoirs. The power distribution box is in the engine

from overloads.
You will need to reset some features if you
disconnect and reconnect the battery. See
Changing the 12V Battery (page 288).
Lift the release lever at the rear of the cover
