What size and color are the fuse links in the charging/power distribution circuit?

Fuse Link A is 14 GA green (12 GA yellow for 5.8L Police), Fuse Links B, C, E, F and G are 16 GA black, Fuse Links H and T are 18 GA brown, Fuse Link L is 14 GA green, and Fuse Link U is 20 GA blue.

Which fuse powers the cigar lighter and what is its rating?

Fuse 16, rated 20A, feeds the cigar lighter (page 82) via circuit 40 LB/W.

What is the rating of the in-line circuit breaker?

The in-line circuit breaker is 20A, on circuit 37 (Y) feeding circuit 193 (Y/LG H).

What does fuse 17 supply?

Fuse 17 (20A) supplies the horn (page 82) and the fuel filler door release (page 102) via circuit 460 Y/LB D, and circuit 54 LG/Y through S106.

Is the choke heater used on all engines?

No, the diagram notes the choke heater applies to the 5.0L CFI only.

What circuits are fed by circuit 54 LG/Y from fuse 8?

This is page 19, "Charge/Power Distribution," from a Ford Electrical & Vacuum Troubleshooting Manual (EVTM) style wiring diagram set. It shows the charging system and power distribution circuits, including the battery (grounding at G101), starter relay (page 29-30), voltage regulator (with field switch, electronic control, and indicator switch sections), alternator (field, stator and rectifier assembly), choke heater (5.0L CFI only), radio noise capacitor, and alternator warning indicator (500 ohms). It details fusible links: A (14 GA green; 12 GA yellow for 5.8L Police), B and C (16 GA black), E, F, G (16 GA black), H and T (18 GA brown), L (14 GA green), and U (20 GA blue), plus a 20A in-line circuit breaker. Fuse panel positions shown: fuse 4 (15A, headlamp switch), fuse 8 (15A), fuse 17 (20A, horn/fuel filler door release), fuse 12 (25A/30A, power distribution), and fuse 16 (20A, cigar lighter). Circuit numbers and wire colors are given (e.g., 37 Y, 38 BK/O, 54 LG/Y, 904 LG/R), with cross-references to related system pages such as trailer wiring (121), police circuits (120), rear window defrost (102), load leveling (150), EEC (44), power windows (91-92), and courtesy lamps (70).
