BigBrother-84 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Hi Gentlemen! Need a lesson about CB and Fuses. Reading at the Fuse Panel list, do we understand that, for Fuses 12 and 14, we should put a fuse or a c.b., depending of the protected accessory?

81-F150-Explorer Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Not sure what you are asking here, but I'll try and answer. Hope I'm not being obtuse. Resetting Circuit breakers are typically used when a fuse blowing might be just as hazardous or more hazardous than a short circuit in certain situations. The Circuit breaker in the Headlamp switch is one. When operating properly, it makes your headlamps flicker, but not go completely out when there is a short circuit. Headlamps going completely out on a dark highway not a good thing. Power windows and door locks were thought the same way. What if you needed to get out in a hurry after a crash or other such problem etc... Thus resetting circuit breakers. It's covered in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety standards; FMVSS I hope this helps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdWrknTrk Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 "Tailgate power window" is unique to Bronco's. They have a very different rear half of the main chassis harness. ( power window and lock, the way the taillights ground, etc..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For #12 and #14, it seems to show two possibilities: •12: 25A fuse or 30A cb •14: 25A fuse or 20A cb I am questioning if each "choice" is written on the line of its specific protected accessory. If not, what's the meaning of these "multiple" choices for each of #12 and #14? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a truck with power whatever you get a circuit breaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
