2019 Ford Explorer Interceptor fuses

Post by arlojanis »

This Explorer Interceptor has two 12 volt power wires stubbed off behind rear seat. One wire has a 50 amp fuse in the panel under the hood. Exactly where is the fuse for the other wire? What size is the fuse and is it switched or constant? Is there another place to get 15 or 20 amps easy?

Have you looked in the upfitter guide? I browsed through it briefly but don't have time to search to heavily into it. 50 amps can handle a significant amount of equipment, do you really need an additional 20?

10 amps for siren and unknown current for light bar. The factory wires are there and would like to split the load. Found 50 amp fuse blown. Not sure if installer blew it or load did. Siren and lights never worked. Other wire is still dead. Lights were on 50 amp wire and siren on other.

This depends entirely on who did the work for the wiring.
Every one I have done installs on has had very small fuse panels
one for +12V Hot and one for +12V Ignition installed in the center
dash console - behind the plastic panels. Once the plastic panels
are removed the fuse panels are revealed and they were well
labeled as to which was hot and ignition.

NOTE: I know this is an older thread but thought this info might
be of value to some members here.
