Here's why:
* Multiple Fuse Boxes: Older vehicles often have multiple fuse boxes, and the location of the fuel pump fuse can vary depending on the specific model and engine configuration of your truck.
* Owner's Manual is Key: The most reliable source of information for fuse locations is your 1996 F-350 owner's manual. It will have a detailed diagram showing the fuse box locations and fuse assignments.
Where to Look:
1. Under the Hood: The most common location for the fuse box is under the hood, often on the driver's side.
2. Passenger Compartment: Some vehicles have a smaller fuse panel in the passenger compartment, often under the dash or near the glove box.
Additional Tips:
* Check Online Resources: You might find a detailed fuse diagram for your specific truck model year and engine on sites like Ford's website, or online forums dedicated to Ford trucks.
* Consult a Mechanic: If you can't find the fuel pump fuse, it's best to take your truck to a qualified mechanic for assistance.
Safety Note: Before working on any electrical components, always disconnect the battery's negative terminal to prevent electrical shock.
