The fuse for the windshield wipers in a 1996 Ford Explorer 5.0L is located in the
underhood fuse box. There isn't a single, universally designated "windshield wiper" fuse; it's usually shared with other components. Your owner's manual will be the best resource to find the correct fuse. It will show you a diagram of the fuse box layout, with each fuse labeled and its corresponding function.
If you don't have the owner's manual, you can often find a digital version online through Ford's website or a reputable automotive parts website. Look for a diagram within the manual that shows the underhood fuse box layout. The fuse may be labeled as something like "Wipers," "Wiper Motor," or possibly something more generic if it shares the circuit with other components.
