The fuse box of a Ford Explorer is located under the steering column. To access it, start by turning off the engine and ensuring the vehicle is parked safely.

Then, locate the access panel situated under the steering column, just above the pedals. This panel is often secured with clips or small screws.

Remove the panel carefully, using a screwdriver if necessary, to expose the fuse box. Once the panel is open, you will see the fuses inside. The owner’s manual of your Ford Explorer contains a diagram indicating the exact position of each fuse and its function, making it easier to locate the specific fuse that may need checking or replacing.

After inspecting or replacing the fuse, refit the panel and ensure it is secured properly to protect the fuse box.
