Where is the fuse for anti theft system on a 98 Ford expedition?

There isn't a single, dedicated fuse for the entire anti-theft system on a 1998 Ford Expedition. The system's various components (like the alarm siren, sensors, etc.) will draw power from multiple fuses throughout the fuse box(es). The owner's manual should list all fuses and what circuits they protect.

To find a potential problem, you'll need to:

1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best resource. Look for sections on fuses, the anti-theft system, or electrical diagrams.

2. Check both fuse boxes: The 1998 Expedition likely has at least two fuse boxes: one under the hood and one inside the vehicle (often under the dash). Inspect all fuses in both boxes, looking for blown fuses (visually inspect for a broken filament). Pay close attention to fuses labeled for things like the alarm, security system, body control module (BCM), or ignition system.

3. If you suspect a particular part of the anti-theft system is malfunctioning: Try to isolate the component causing the problem. For example, if the alarm is constantly going off, you might find a blown fuse related to the siren or alarm control unit. This might require a multimeter to test circuits.

Warning: Working with automotive electrical systems can be dangerous. If you're not comfortable working with electricity, take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic. Incorrectly diagnosing and replacing fuses can cause further damage.
