How to Replace the Fuses in a Ford Focus

Introduced in 2000, the Ford Focus continues production every year. Although this line of cars is still relatively new, you can experience a fuse blowout. When this happens, exchange it for a working new fuse in minutes.

Instructions

1

Shut off the ignition in your Ford Focus before you replace a fuse. Find the fuse box near the brake pedal, below and to the left of your steering wheel.

2

Pull the panel cover to open the box and access the fuses. Check the inside of the cover for a listing of fuse locations. For example, a 2000 Ford Focus houses the horn fuse in slot 34.

3

Use the fuse puller that's in the fuse box to remove the fuse. If a fuse is blown, the wire in the middle of it will be severed or melted.

4

Replace the blown fuse with a new one of the same rating. In the horn example referenced in Step 2, the fuse has a 20-amp rating.

5

Shut the fuse panel door and check the new fuse once you restart the Focus.
