What amperage is Fuse 5 and when is it powered?

Fuse 5 is a 15A fuse in the fuse panel (page 13-5) and is HOT IN RUN.

What wire color/circuit does Fuse 5 feed?

Circuit 298 with P/O (pink/orange) wire, which goes to splice S214 and branches to all the connected components.

What components does Fuse 5 power?

The multi-function switch (C269), remote keyless entry module (C455), illuminated entry module (C415), shift lock actuator (C203), digital instrument cluster (C255/C256), rear window defrost control or timer (C2014/C208), EATC control module (C274), and on wagons the liftgate defrost/wiper/washer control (C2014).

What is different between Taurus and Sable on this circuit?

The Taurus branch feeds the rear window defrost control at C2014 (page 56-1), while the Sable branch feeds the rear window defrost timer at C208 (page 56-2). The rear-window defrost timer/control branch is also labeled 'SABLE ONLY' for the sedan/wagon split.

What splice distributes power from Fuse 5?

Splice S214 distributes the 298 P/O circuit from Fuse 5 to all downstream branches.

This document is a factory-style wiring diagram page showing the power distribution circuit for Fuse 5, a 15A fuse in the fuse panel (referenced to page 13-5) that is hot in run. From the fuse, circuit 298 P/O (pink/orange) feeds splice S214, which distributes power to numerous accessories. Branches go through connectors C214 and C301 (with keyless entry) to the multi-function switch (C269), remote keyless entry module (C455 pin 8), and illuminated entry module (C415). Other branches feed the shift lock actuator (C203), the digital instrument cluster (C255 pin 14 / C256 pin 9), and the EATC control module (C274 pin 11, with EATC). Model-specific branches feed the rear window defrost control (C2014, Taurus) or rear window defrost timer (C208, Sable), and body-style-specific branches feed the rear window defrost control (C2014, sedan) or liftgate defrost/wiper/washer control (C2014, wagon). Each component includes a page reference in the source manual. The diagram identifies Taurus, Sable, sedan, and wagon variants, matching the uploader's claim of a 1993 Ford Taurus, though no year is printed on the page itself.
