Where can you get a free diagram for the fuses in a Ford Escort - ZX2?

Answer 1

AnswerThere are 2 fuse boxes / fuse panels in nearly every Ford product: one directly above the driver's left foot (when the driver is actually sitting in the driver's seat). The other is inside the engine compartment, on the right side - contains high current fuses.

There is extensive coverage of fuses and the circuits each one protects Owners Manual.

See "Related Questions" below for sources of free online Owners Manuals for 1996+ Ford & Mercury products.

Checking & Changing A Fuse

Inside the fusebox cover is a small white plastic tool for pulling fuses out.

Inspect the center section of the fuse to determine if it has 'blown' - it will be obvious if the metal strip has melted.

Insert a replacement fuse of the same color / amperage protection by simply pressing it into the fuse-slot.

Checking a fuse

Generally, if a fuse is 'blown' you can tell by looking at the fuse. Look at the wire looking thing in the top on the fuse. It'll look kind of broken or burned or just otherwise messed up. If you're not sure what a good fuse looks like, go to an auto store and look at a new fuse. Then look at your fuses and compare appearances.
The Diagram is on the fuse box, both on the one in the engine compartment and also in the cab. Bruxh the dirt off and it shows all. If that doesn;t work for you, buy a Chiltons.
