Use only power steering fluid that meets Ford Specification ESW-M2C33-F, such as Motorcraft Type "F" Automatic Transmission and Power Steering Fluid. If the power steering fluid is low, do not drive your vehicle for a long period of time before adding fluid. This can damage the power steering pump. Fuses, Fuse Links and Circuit Breakers Fuses, fuse links and circuit breakers protect your vehicle electrical system from overloading. If electrical parts in your vehicle are not working, the system may have been overloaded and blown a fuse, fuse link or tripped a circuit breaker. Before you replace or repair any electrical parts, check the appropriate circuit protector. The following charts tell you which circuit protector protects each electrical part of your vehicle. If a fuse or fuse link blows, or a circuit breaker opens a circuit, none of the parts of your vehicle that use the circuit will work. For example, if the RADIO fuse is blown, the radio and remote control mirrors will not work. If the radio works, but the electric mirrors don't work, something is wrong with the mirrors. NOTE: Fuse links should only be repaired by your dealer. 320
