The Ford Explorer in one of the most popular SUVs around. Whether you have the original model, a Sport, Sport Trac or one of the various body trims like the Eddie Bauer edition, changing a blown fuse is a relatively simple process. In just 30 minutes, you can replace a fuse that's no longer working in your Ford Explorer.
Locate the fuse panel just to the left of your steering wheel, facing the driver's side door.
Open the panel by pulling the cover outward. Look at the fuse listing on the inside panel of the fuse box to identify the location of the fuse you wish to replace. The location and amperage of each fuse varies slightly between all Ford Explorer models, so it's important to check the corresponding number listed on the inside fuse panel.
Use the fuse puller in the fuse box and carefully remove the fuse for the electrical malfunction you're experiencing. Examine the fuse to see if it's blown, represented by a burned-out wire. Compare it to another fuse that works if you're are unsure.
Discard the blown fuse and replace it with one of the same amperage. The amperage for each fuse is listed on the inside cover of the fuse box.
Replace the fuse puller and cover the fuse box. Start your Ford Explorer and check to see that the electrical issue is resolved.
