This document is page 11-4, "Fuse Panel/Circuit Protection," from the 1998 Ford Crown Victoria / Mercury Grand Marquis service literature. It covers the instrument panel fuse panel and includes a diagram showing the physical layout of fuse positions 1 through 18 within the interior fuse box. A complete table lists each fuse number, its amperage rating (including two circuit breakers, 18A at position 12 and 20A at position 14), the circuits it protects, and a cross-reference page number for further wiring detail. Protected circuits include the multi-function switch, wiper control module, Lighting Control Module (LCM), speed control, PCM power diode and ignition coils, blower motor, air bag modules (fuses 10 and 18), radio, power windows/door locks, ABS and instrument cluster, cigar lighter, and rear defrost. Fuse 3 is not used. A "Power Distribution" note explains that the generator and battery connect at the Engine Compartment Fuse Box, that all engine compartment fuses/maxi-fuses and the ignition switch are hot at all times (as are fuses 1, 4, 8, 10, 12, 16 and 17), and that remaining fuses are powered through the ignition switch. Readers can identify fuse locations, ratings, and circuit functions for diagnosis.
