Fuses

WARNING
Always replace a fuse with one that has the specified amperage rating. Using a fuse with a higher amperage rating can cause severe wire damage and could start a fire. If electrical components in your vehicle are not working, a fuse may have blown. Blown fuses are identified by a broken wire within the fuse. Check the appropriate fuses before replacing any electrical components.

FUSE SPECIFICATION CHART

Power Distribution Box

WARNING

• Always disconnect the battery before servicing high-current fuses.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always replace the cover to the power distribution box before reconnecting the battery or refilling fluid reservoirs.

Note
If your vehicle is equipped with a dual battery, disconnecting the primary under-hood battery does not remove power from all circuits. The power distribution box is located in the engine compartment. It has high-current fuses that protect your vehicle’s main electrical systems from overloads. If the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, refer to Changing the Vehicle Battery in the Maintenance chapter.

Safety Instructions

• The use of airbags:
  • Front airbags for both driver and passenger are standard.
  • Side curtain airbags offer protection in the event of a collision from the side.
  • If the front passenger seat of the vehicle has a passenger-side airbag, a child safety seat that faces the rear should never be placed in that seat.
• Anti-lock Brake System, Also Known as “ABS:
  • During emergency stops that need severe stopping, ABS helps retain steering control. If the warning light for the anti-lock braking system remains illuminated or illuminates itself while the vehicle is in motion, this indicates a problem.
• Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS):
  • This device will notify you as soon as any tire’s pressure drops below the prescribed level. Always keep a close eye on the pressure in your tyres, and never disregard a TPMS alert.
• Buckles for Safety:
  • Always fasten your seat belt, and check to make sure everyone else is doing the same. Utilise pre-tensioners and energy management retractors so that you can better control the flow of energy in the event of a collision.
  • Use child safety seats as appropriate for the child’s age and size. Children should always sit in the back seat since it is the most secure position.When children are present in the car, the rear door locks should be child-resistant.
  • Roll Stability Control (RSC): AdvanceTrac’s version of roll stability control.
  • This electronic stabilisation system helps minimise sliding and rollovers so you may drive safely. If the warning light for this system remains illuminated at all times, there is a problem that has to be resolved.
• System for the Safety of Canopies:
  • This system deploys side-curtain airbags in certain side-impact or rollover situations to protect outboard passengers.
• SOS Post-Crash Alert System:
  • In the case of an accident, this system will sound the horn and activate the emergency flashers to draw attention to the scene from nearby pedestrians.
  • When you’re pulling a trailer behind a vehicle, this technology can detect any swaying in the trailer and help you correct it by altering the amount of engine power and brake force.
• Ife: s………..
  • In the event of a collision, the occupants of the F-150 are safeguarded by a frame and body that are built with high-strength steel and safety cage design.
• Provision of:
  • When getting fuel, you should never start the engine. Never use anything other than the type of fuel that is specifically advised for your vehicle’s engine.
• Put on the Parking Brake:
  • Always engage the parking brake when parking to prevent the vehicle from moving unintentionally.
• Avoid Distracted Driving:
  • Never text, use a phone without hands-free functionality, or engage in other distracting activities while driving.
• Safety During Towing:
  • When it comes to towing capacities, you should always follow the guidelines provided by the manufacturer. Before you start towing, check that the trailer’s lights, brakes and any other components are working properly.

Troubleshooting

Failure to Start the Engine

• Battery: Determine whether it is dead or whether the terminals have corroded.
• Starter: When attempting to start, be on the lookout for a clicking sound.
• Fuel: Ensure there’s sufficient fuel.
• Ignition system: Inspect spark plugs, wires, and coils.

A Rough Idle or Misfire from the Engine:

• Spark Plugs: You might want to consider replacing them.
• Check the coils to make sure there isn’t any damage or malfunction.
• Mixture of Air and Fuel: It’s possible that the MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor or the fuel injectors are to blame.

Transmission Hesitation or Jerking

• Fluid Level: Determine the current level of gearbox fluid and its condition.
• Transmission Control Module (TCM): You might want to consider getting an upgrade or replacing it.
• It’s possible that the transmission’s clutches or solenoids are beginning to wear out.

Problems with the Suspension or Uneven Tyre Wear

• Check for leaks and any damage to the shocks and struts.
• Ball Joints: Check for wear or looseness.
• Check the bushings for any signs of wear or degradation.

Problems with the electricity (including the lights and the radio):

• Check to see if any of the fuses have been blown.
• Battery: A weak battery can cause various electrical issues.
• Alternator: Check to see that it is continuously supplying a charge.

Problems with the Breaks:

• Inspect the brake pads for signs of wear.
• Check the rotors for any signs of damage or warping.
• Check that the fluid is at the correct level and that it is in good condition.

Overheating of the Cooling System:

• Check both the level and the condition of the coolant.
• There is a possibility that the thermostat is jammed closed.
• Radiator: Check to see that it is not leaking and has not become clogged.
• Check for leaks and make sure the impeller is not broken on the water pump.

Concerns Regarding the 4×4 Engagement:

• Transfer Case: Ensure it’s engaging correctly.
• Actuators: Check for proper function.
• Hubs: Locking hubs might be malfunctioning.
• Low efficiency in terms of fuel use:
• If your air filters are unclean, replace them.
• Oxygen Sensors: There is a possibility that they are broken.
• Check the tyre pressure and make sure all of your tyres have the correct amount of PSI.

Concerns Regarding the Helm:

• Power Steering Fluid: Check the level and condition.
• Belts: Check to see that the power steering belt is not broken and that it has the appropriate amount of tension.
• Tie rods, control arms, and other components of the steering system should be inspected for any signs of damage or wear.

Air Conditioning That Doesn’t Keep You Cool:

• It’s possible that the refrigerant has to be recharged.
• Check to see that the compressor is correctly engaged.
• Leaks: Inspect the system for any leaks.

Excessive Exhaust Smoke:

• White smoke could mean that coolant is getting into the combustion chamber, which would suggest a problem with the head gasket.
• Blue smoke indicates that oil may be igniting as a result of damaged seals or rings.
• Black Smoke: Indicates a rich fuel mixture. Perform maintenance on the fuel injectors, air filters, and MAF sensor.
