2023 FORD Mustang Fuses Operation Instructions

Inside the complex electrical system of the 2023 Ford Mustang is a network of important safety devices called fuses. These small but important parts act as sentinels, watching out for possible dangers and keeping the car’s electronics safe. Fuses are very important because they are the first line of defense against electrical overloads. They keep expensive parts and systems from getting damaged. These small, unobtrusive devices are placed in fuse boxes in both the engine compartment and the cabin. If a circuit has too much power, they will stop the flow of electricity. By doing this, they avoid possible risks and keep the electronic framework of the Mustang in good shape. The way the fuses work in the 2023 Ford Mustang shows a proactive approach to safety and system maintenance, with a focus on the combination of current technology and reliability to make driving safe and smooth.

FUSE SPECIFICATION CHART
Power Distribution Box

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

• The power distribution box is in the engine compartment. It has high-current fuses that protect your vehicle’s main electrical systems from overloads.
• If you disconnect and reconnect the battery, you need to reset some features. See Changing the 12V Battery.
• Replace fuses with the same type and rating. See Changing a Fuse.

Passenger Compartment Fuse Panel

• The fuse panel is in the right-hand side of the passenger footwell behind a trim panel and plastic key code card.
• To remove the trim panel, lift it from the rear retaining hooks, while pulling it toward you and swinging it away from the side. To reinstall it, line up the tabs with the grooves on the panel, drop the panel back into place, and then push it shut.To reach the fuse panel, first remove the key code card.
• After replacing a fuse, return the key code card to the original position. To reinstall the trim panel, lineup the tabs with the grooves on the panel, drop the panel back into place, and then push it shut to reinstall the trim panel.

CHANGING A FUSE
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 the 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.
