HAZARD FLASHER CONTROL

The hazard flasher is located on the
steering column, just behind the
steering wheel. The hazard flashers
will operate when the ignition is in
any position or if the key is not in
the ignition.

Push in the flasher control and all
front and rear direction signals will
flash. Press the flasher control again
to turn them off. Use it when your
vehicle is disabled and is creating a safety hazard for other motorists.

Note: With extended use, the flasher may run down your battery.

FUEL PUMP SHUT-OFF SWITCH
(DIESEL-POWERED AND STRIPPED CHASSIS VEHICLES ONLY)
This device stops the electric fuel pump from sending fuel to the engine
when your vehicle has had a substantial jolt.

After an accident, if the engine cranks but does not start, this switch
may have been activated.

On diesel-powered vehicles, this
switch is located in the front
passenger’s footwell, by the kick
panel.

On commercial stripped chassis
vehicles, this switch is located on a
bracket above the brake pedal.

To reset the switch:

1. Turn the ignition off.

2. Check the fuel system for leaks.

3. If no leaks are apparent, reset the
switch by pushing in on the reset
button.

4. Turn the ignition on.

5. Wait a few seconds and return
the key to off.

6. Make another check for leaks.

Fuel pump shut-off (gas engines except stripped chassis)

In the event of a moderate to severe collision, this vehicle is equipped
with a fuel pump shut-off feature that stops the flow of fuel to the
engine. Not every impact will cause a shut-off.

Should your vehicle shut off after a collision due to this feature, you may
restart your vehicle by doing the following:

1. Turn the ignition switch to the off position.

2. Turn the ignition switch to the on position.

In some instances the vehicle may not restart the first time you try to
restart and may take one additional attempt.

WARNING: Failure to inspect and if necessary repair fuel leaks
after a collision may increase the risk of fire and serious injury.

Ford Motor Company recommends that the fuel system be inspected
by an authorized dealer after any collision.

FUSES AND RELAYS

Fuses

If electrical components in the
vehicle are not working, a fuse may
have blown. Blown fuses are
identified by a broken wire within
the fuse. Check the appropriate
fuses before replacing any electrical
components.
Note: Always replace a fuse with one that has the specified amperage
rating. Using a fuse with a higher amperage rating can cause severe wire
damage and could start a fire.
