The fuse box is located in the engine compartment, on the driver's side of the vehicle. It is a black plastic box with a hinged lid. The lid has a diagram of the fuse box printed on it.
The fuse box contains a number of fuses and relays. The fuses protect the electrical circuits in the vehicle from damage caused by overloads. The relays are switches that are used to control the flow of electricity to different parts of the vehicle.
The diagram of the fuse box shows the location of each fuse and relay. It also lists the function of each fuse and relay.
Here are some of the more important fuses and relays in the 1996 Ford Ranger fuse box:
* Fuse 1 (10A): This fuse protects the fuel pump and fuel injection system.
* Fuse 2 (15A): This fuse protects the ignition coil and distributor.
* Fuse 3 (10A): This fuse protects the headlights.
* Fuse 4 (10A): This fuse protects the taillights and brake lights.
* Fuse 5 (15A): This fuse protects the horn and turn signals.
* Fuse 6 (10A): This fuse protects the radio.
* Fuse 7 (15A): This fuse protects the air conditioner and heater.
* Fuse 8 (10A): This fuse protects the power windows and locks.
* Fuse 9 (10A): This fuse protects the cigarette lighter and power outlet.
* Relay 1: This relay controls the fuel pump.
* Relay 2: This relay controls the headlights.
* Relay 3: This relay controls the air conditioner and heater.
* Relay 4: This relay controls the power windows and locks.
If you blow a fuse, it is important to replace it with a fuse of the same amperage. Using a fuse with a higher amperage can damage the electrical circuits in the vehicle.
If you have problems with your electrical system, it is a good idea to check the fuses and relays in the fuse box. A blown fuse or a faulty relay can be the cause of a number of electrical problems.
