Where is the fuse box?

Passenger compartment fuse box

Below the glove compartment

  1. Fold back the carpet under the glove compartment.
  2. Carefully remove the cover.

We haven’t drawn a schematic of the passenger compartment fuse box for this version yet. Use the fuse and relay numbers on this page and the legend on the fuse box to find the right position.

Where to look

  • 3

    Below the glove compartment

    Fuse ·10A · Parking assist control module.

    Position not shown on the schematic. Find fuse 3 on the fuse box legend.

Always confirm the number against the legend on the fuse box cover before pulling anything.

How to replace the fuse safely

  1. Switch off the ignition and all electrical equipment. Take the key out, or move a keyless fob away from the car.
  2. Open the fuse box and find the fuse using the number on the cover legend or the chart on this page.
  3. Pull the fuse straight out with the plastic fuse puller (usually clipped inside the fuse box) or fine-nose pliers.
  4. Look at the metal strip inside the fuse. A broken or burnt strip means it has blown.
  5. Fit a new fuse with exactly the same amperage rating. The number on top and the colour should match.
  6. Refit the cover, switch on and test the component.
  • Never fit a fuse with a higher amperage rating than specified. It can let wiring overheat.
  • Never bridge a fuse with wire, foil or anything else.

Fuse keeps blowing?

A fuse that blows again straight away is doing its job. Something on that circuit is drawing too much current. Common causes are damaged wiring shorting to the bodywork, a failing motor or socket, water getting in, or a faulty accessory. Fitting fuse after fuse, or a bigger fuse, won’t fix the fault and can overheat the wiring. Have the circuit tested by an auto electrician.

Not the fuse? Check these next.

  • Dirty or damaged sensors

    Mud, ice or a small knock to the bumper can stop a sensor working. Clean them and look for cracks.

  • Rear-only systems

    Ford may list the parking aid fuse only for cars with front parking aid. Check the note beside the fuse.

  • Towing

    Some systems switch the rear sensors off when a trailer or bike rack is connected.

Fuse layouts can differ between trim levels and optional equipment. Always confirm against the legend on your fuse box.
