Where is the Focus power steering pump fuse located?

Focus power steering pump fuse is located under the battery cover, you can see it by lifting the battery cover. The automotive power steering pump refers to a component that helps improve and stabilize vehicle performance, mainly assisting drivers in adjusting the vehicle's direction. Currently, most vehicles are equipped with power steering pumps, primarily including steering assist pumps and brake vacuum assist pumps. As Ford's best-selling compact car, the Focus has enhanced Ford's brand position in the global market with its excellent chassis and handling. The dimensions of the Focus are 4378mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1468mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2705mm.

I've been driving Ford cars for over ten years, and the fuse for the Focus's power steering pump is usually located in the engine compartment's fuse box. To find the exact spot, you'll need to open the hood and look for a small black plastic box on the right or towards the front. The cover has labels or a diagram indicating the numbers and purposes of the fuses. The one for the power steering pump is typically marked 'power steering' or abbreviated as 'PS'. Last time I replaced it, I used a 15-amp fuse, and it was quite easy. If the steering wheel feels heavier, there's a good chance the fuse has blown. Remember to turn off the power before working on it to avoid causing a short circuit, which could lead to more trouble. With an older car, the wiring might have aged, so it's a good idea to check for any loose connections while you're at it. Doing it yourself isn't difficult, and keeping some tools in the car is always a safe bet.

Just last week, I checked the power steering pump fuse for my brother's Focus—it's right there in the engine bay fuse box. Maybe first flip through the vehicle manual; it has detailed diagrams. Or just pop the hood and look for the fuse box cover—the label usually marks the power steering pump fuse location, often in slot F13 or F15. Changing a fuse yourself is super easy: pull out the old one and plug in a new one with the same amperage. You can grab a spare fuse kit at the supermarket for cheap. If you're unsure about the exact location, just search for a repair video of your car model on your phone and follow along—done in ten minutes, saving you repair costs. DIY car tinkering is such a thrill!

As a technician with years of experience, the standard location for the Focus power steering pump fuse is in the engine compartment fuse box near the battery or windshield edge. Open the cover and look for the slot labeled "power steering fuse," typically rated at 15-20A. To check if the fuse is blown, use a test pen. Common causes of burnout include power steering pump motor overload or short circuit. It's also recommended to check if the voltage is stable. Always disconnect the power supply when replacing to avoid accidents. If issues are found, promptly inspect the entire steering system wiring.

Last year when my power steering failed, I panicked. A friend told me the fuse was in the Focus's engine compartment fuse box, with clear position labels. If you're a novice unfamiliar with car repairs, never tamper with it yourself—just drive to a 4S shop or seek professional help. Safety comes first. Driving without power steering is very dangerous; if the steering wheel stiffens, pull over immediately. Regular maintenance and checking the fuse box can reduce failures.
