What fuses feed the main light switch on a 1996 Bronco?

Fuse 4 (15A, hot at all times), fuse 11 (15A, hot in ACC or RUN), and fuse 8 (15A, hot at all times) from the fuse panel, plus fuse 19 (40A, hot at all times) from the engine compartment fuse box.

What wire color goes to the headlamps from the light switch?

Circuit 15 R/Y (red/yellow) from switch terminal H feeds the headlamps, covered on page 85-1.

What circuit powers the instrument illumination?

Circuit 294 W/LB leaves the switch, passes through fuse 10 (4A) in the fuse panel, and becomes circuit 19 LB/R to the instrument illumination on page 71-1.

What wire feeds the courtesy lamps?

Through connector C273: circuit 706 GY with remote/keyless entry, or circuit 55 BK/PK without remote/keyless entry, going to courtesy lamps on pages 89-1 and 89-3.

Does the main light switch have a circuit breaker?

Yes, the diagram shows a 22.5A circuit breaker (C.B.) internal to the main light switch; switch testing is on page 149-1.

This is page 13-15 ("Power Distribution") of a 1996 Ford Bronco electrical wiring diagram set, focused on the main light switch circuit power distribution. It shows three feeds from the fuse panel: fuse 4 (15A, hot at all times), fuse 11 (15A, hot in ACC or RUN), and fuse 8 (15A, hot at all times), plus a 40A fuse 19 feed from the engine compartment fuse box. Wire circuits into the main light switch include 38 BK/O (through connectors C202M/C202F), 195 T/W, 137 V/BK (through C257, also feeding the radio, pages 130-1/130-2), and 54 LG/V (through splice S214 and connector C273, also going to power distribution page 13-12). The main light switch (with internal 22.5A circuit breaker; switch testing on page 149-1) distributes power out on: 15 R/Y to headlamps (page 85-1), 14 BR to exterior lamps (page 92-1), 294 W/LB through fuse 10 (4A) becoming 19 LB/R to instrument illumination (page 71-1), 484 O/BK to the radio, and via C273 either 706 GY (with remote/keyless entry) or 55 BK/PK (without) to courtesy lamps (pages 89-1, 89-3). Readers can trace lighting circuit power sources, fuse ratings, wire colors, connectors, and cross-referenced diagram pages.
