The radio fuse on the 02-03 model Taurus is a 20 amp under the hood. There is 2 rows of small fuses running from front to back in the middle of the box. Its the middle fuse on the first row(on the passenger side of the box). Mine only had 3 fuses on the 1st row and 4 on the 2nd but that depends on your cars options. Ford sucks for not labeling there owners manual better, anyhow hope this saves someone the trouble I went through finding the fuse. have a good one.
See "Related Questions" below for more Answer look in your owner manual under fuses it is probably a 15 amp Open the fuse box inside the car and there should be a list of each fuse on the inside of the cover. I am unsure, but I THINK the fuse box is near the passenger door. Anyway, if you know where the box is, you can find the fuse.

Why does the dome light stay on even while driving on a 2002 Ford Taurus?
Check the dash to see if a "Door open" indicator is illuminated. if this is the case, then check all your doors and ensure they are all closed properly. If the interior light still doesn't turn off, your door switch may be stuck in the open position. To check which door is in the open position, turn the key to the on position, then open a door. Doors that are working properly will operate the chime upon opening the door. The door open switch is located in the door latch assembly, Lubricate the door latch with spray Lithium grease and actuate it repeatedly while applying lubricant frequently. If it still refuses to turn off, your door switch might have become faulty and may require replacement.
Why does your dome light stay on after the doors are closed?

What is the difference between a turn signal swith and a turn signal flasher on a 2004 Ford Taurus?
The switch is the turn-signal 'stalk' coming off the steering column. That's where the 2 different switches are located, activated by the movement of the stalk.
The flasher is what generates the blinking action - interrupts the electric current. In years gone by, the flasher unit was a silver can, about the size the old film canisters were, and often mounted directly on the fuseblock...
For reference to more current configurations, the 1996+ Taurus / Sable flashers are a blue rectangular box, and mounted away from the fuseblock (See "Related Questions" below for more)

These are easy. They should be located in the front engine compartment by the radiator or by the wheel wells. They are black and look like a horn and usually have one or two bolts attaching it. There is a wire you have to unplug from the horn. This is a hot wire so protect it from touching the metal surfaces of the car or grounding the connector. Most cars have one or two. But they are generally somewhere in the front of the engine compartment.

- Remove the bulb from the lamp assembly by pulling straight back.
Do not twist, as there are alignment slots built into the lamp assembly socket.
It may take some effort to remove the lamp because it has a rubber o-ring type seal - try a bit of wiggling side-to-side

Make sure that the flat surface of the bulb socket is facing upward, and is firmly seated

DIY - 5 Minute Turn Signal Bulb ReplacementThis is very simple to do. First you will need an 8mm socket and wrench to loosen one bolt. Second a good long flat head screwdriver. There are two black metal folded tabs behind the headlight assembly and one 8mm bolt holding it in plae at the center point of the front of the car. Loosen the bolt and remove. Use the screw driver to pull up the metal straps and then slide forward the entire assembly. This will slide easily unless your front bumper has been bumped! That will make it a little difficult to slide if it is out of alignment. If it was never bumped than this should take all of 5 minutes. See pictures here:http://204.200.208.247/taurus_bulb
It's actually quite easy. You must remove the entire plastic housing. Behind the light there ate two locking bars that slip up and down. Remove those and a screw holding the light/lens in place. From there remove the bulb covering, then remove the twist lock holding the bulb in place. After that, just pull the bulb out and replace. Put back in reverse order.
Open the hood, looking down at the headlamp assembly, you'll see a 5/16 retaining bolt on the inboard corner. Remove the bolt. Look for two tabs at the rear of the assembly. Pull up and remove these tabs, you may need a large screwdriver to lever them. Pull the assembly out and remove the wiring harness attachment. Turn the retaining collar to the left and remove. Unplug the wiring socket from the lamp. Turn the lamp retaining collar to the left and remove. Pull the lamp out of the assembly. Replace with the new lamp, being VERY careful not to touch the lamp other than on the base. Halogen lamps will heat up any oils from contact with your hand and probably explode. Reverse the above directions to reinstall the headlamp assembly.
Very easy. 2002 Ford Taurus.
Take a look at the entire headlight assembly. Look down on the assembly and toward the side closest the radiator you will see a small bolt to unscrew on each housing.
Look toward the rear of the headlight and you will see two metal clips that need to come out. A medium size flathead will get them started but they should come staight up. The assembly will now pull out of the front of the vehicle. Be sure to unclip the small wiring harness.
Uncrew the back of the assembly and you will see the back of the bulb. Detach wiring. Unscrew the ring holding the lamp. Remove old bulb.
DO NOT touch the glass of your lamps! It will cause hot spots and the bulb will burn out.
Take new bulb and notice the notches...they will orient the bulb correctly. Screw on ring. Attach wiring. Screw on the back of the assembly. Attach the wiring and install back into the front of your vehicle.
The headlight lens is held in with 1 bolt on the front inside end of the lens, and 2 retainer pins at the backside (pull straight up to remove).
The Owners Manual has the steps and illustrations around page 37.
