Where is the fuse box diagram for a 1997 Ford Explorer?

You won't find a single, readily available online image that's universally labeled as "the" fuse box diagram for a 1997 Ford Explorer. The location and contents of the fuse boxes vary slightly depending on the trim level (XL, XLT, Eddie Bauer, Sport, etc.) and options installed on the vehicle.

To find your fuse box diagrams, you need to consult your owner's manual. This manual will have diagrams showing the location of the fuse boxes (there's usually one under the hood and one inside the passenger compartment) and a legend identifying each fuse.

If you don't have your owner's manual:

* Ford's website: You might be able to download a copy of the owner's manual from the Ford website by entering your vehicle's VIN.

* Online parts retailers: Websites like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, or Napa Auto Parts often have online manuals or diagrams accessible after searching for your specific vehicle information. However, these aren't always complete or as detailed as the factory manual.

* Repair manuals: A Haynes or Chilton repair manual for your year and model Explorer will contain detailed fuse box diagrams and other helpful information.

Remember to always disconnect the negative battery terminal before working with fuses or electrical components to prevent short circuits and injury.
