Ford Ranger 1993-1997 – North American version uses a driver-side passenger-compartment fuse panel and an under-hood power-distribution box. Several fuse ratings vary with ABS type, 4×4 equipment and model-year configuration, so repeated positions are intentionally kept as separate rows.
For the following model-year range, see Ford Ranger 1998-2000.
Fuse-box locations
Passenger compartment: on the driver’s side, low on the side of the dashboard / lower dash panel. Engine compartment: the power-distribution box contains the high-current fuses and relays for PCM, fuel pump, wipers, horn and A/C circuits.

Commonly checked circuits
- DLC / diagnostic connector: cabin position 5 – 10 A.
- Cigarette lighter: cabin position 17 – 25 A or 15 A depending on configuration.
- Fuel system: under-hood maxi fuse 3 – 20 A; fuel-pump relay is relay 6.
- ABS: several cabin and under-hood positions differ according to RABS / 4WABS equipment.
FAQ – Ford Ranger 1993-1997 fuses
Why is position 14 shown with two ratings?
Ford used different anti-lock brake configurations. Match the rating to the vehicle’s RABS / 4WABS equipment rather than fitting the higher-amperage fuse automatically.
Where should I start if a scan tool will not power up?
Check cabin position 5 – 10 A, then verify power and ground directly at the Data Link Connector.
