What fuse is for the tail lights on a 1997 Ford Ranger?

The fuse for the tail lights on a 1997 Ford Ranger is not a single fuse. The taillights are usually covered by multiple fuses, often one for the left and one for the right, and sometimes a separate fuse for the running lights. It also may share fuses with other circuits.

To find the correct fuse(s), you must consult your owner's manual. The manual will have a fuse box diagram showing which fuse(s) control the taillights. The diagram will also show the fuse amperage and location within the fuse box(es). There's usually one under the hood and one inside the vehicle (often under the dash).
