2021 FORD EXPLORER fuse box

FUSE SPECIFICATION CHART
Engine Compartment Fuse Box
WARNING: Always disconnect the
battery before servicing high current
fuses. WARNING:
To reduce risk of
electrical shock, always replace the
cover to the power distribution box
before reconnecting the battery or
refilling fluid reservoirs. The engine compartment fuse box is under
the driver side leaf screen in the engine
compartment. It has high-current fuses
that protect your vehicle's main electrical
systems from overloads.
If you disconnect and reconnect the
battery, you need to reset some features.
See Changing the 12V Battery (page 336).
Note:
Replace fuses with the same type
and rating. See Changing a Fuse (page
320). 312
