1. Under the hood: This fuse box usually contains higher amperage fuses protecting larger components. It's typically located near the battery. The cover should have a diagram printed on it showing the fuse locations and what each fuse protects.
2. Inside the vehicle: This fuse panel usually contains lower amperage fuses for interior components like lights, power windows, and accessories. Its location varies slightly depending on the trim level and options, but it's commonly found either under the dashboard on the driver's side (often near the steering column) or in the instrument panel itself. Again, the cover should have a diagram.
To find the exact location and diagrams:
* Check your owner's manual: This is the best resource. The manual will have diagrams showing the fuse box layouts, fuse ratings, and what each fuse protects.
* Look at the fuse box covers: The diagrams are printed on the inside of the covers of both fuse boxes.
* Use online resources: Search online for "1997 Ford E350 fuse box diagram." Many websites and forums offer diagrams and information. However, always double-check this information against your owner's manual, as variations exist based on options and build specifics.
Remember to always disconnect the negative battery cable before working with any electrical components to prevent accidental short circuits.
