Where is the Focus fog light fuse located?
2 Answers
Focus fog light fuse is located in the fuse box under the cover panel on the left side of the steering wheel. The function of fog lights is to make the vehicle visible to other vehicles in conditions of reduced visibility such as fog or rain. Therefore, fog light sources need to have strong penetration capability. Most vehicles use halogen fog lights, while LED fog lights are a more advanced option. The Focus is a Ford A-segment family car with dimensions of 4647mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1468mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2705mm. In terms of suspension, the Focus features MacPherson strut front suspension and twist-beam rear suspension.
I remember once checking the fog light issue on a Focus, the fuse location was in the engine compartment's fuse box. After opening the hood, it's usually near the battery or firewall side. The exact position needs to be confirmed by checking the owner's manual for the number, like F25, but it might vary by model year. Common reasons for a blown fuse include a short circuit in the fog light wiring, overload from aftermarket equipment, or aging bulbs. It's best to turn off the engine and remove the key before working on it—safety first to avoid electric shock. The checking method is simple: use small pliers to pull out the fuse and visually inspect if the middle is melted. If it's blown, just replace it with one of the same amperage—don't use copper wire as a substitute to prevent fire risks. By the way, fog lights are crucial in wet or slippery weather, so regular maintenance of the circuit and bulbs helps reduce failures. Now, I usually rely on the manual and basic tools for routine checks—taking a little time saves hassle in the long run.
