Fuse box access on 2008 venture. I've blown the taillight fuse and am having some difficulty getting into the fuse box. Can access be gained without removing the cowling? Is the pop revit type anchor simply removed by force? Thanks for your help.

The tail light fuse in a 2012 Ford Fusion can be found in the fuse panel that is in the cabin on the driver's side under the steering wheel. The fuse should be number 22 but always check with the cover that is over the panel to confirm. If Your tail lights are out on Your Fusion the first thing You should check are the bulbs. These burn out regularly and are a consumable part. If they are okay then the next thing to check are the fuses. If the fuse is blown go ahead and replace it and make sure the lights work. If You are popping fuses regularly to Your tail lights then there is likely a short in the wiring to them.

If just one taillight is out, you have burned out bulb. Look for an access panel for the light assembly in the trunk. IF both taillights are out, you MAY have a blown fuse. STart by checking the bulbs. The fuse box is either behind a panel on the lower dash, driver side, or "easily" accessible near the brake pedal.

look in your manual or on fuse box cover, fuse will probably be labeled taillights.Press the helpful button
You can also google your make and model taillight fuse location

Sounds like a blown fuse. Check the fuse box. It should be located somewhere on the left drivers side kick panel below the dash.

If it is the lens assembly in the rear of the car the nuts you are looking for are located under a cover inside the trunk.This carpet or covers is removable and allows you access to the bulbs and the nuts to remove it.If its the fuse then it would be under the dash on the driver side or at the end of the dash on the driver side.The location of the fuse should be printed on the inside of the cover.

the fuse is in the passengers under dash fuse box which is behind the kick pannel ..under the glove box on the door side and you should see a little access door to get at the fuse box...hope this helps

If you have the manual there will be a chart in it which will show you which fuse is blown. If you do not have the book, you have some choices. you could go to a dealer and order a book, go to a bookstore and purchase a book, or go to a good auto parts store, and get a book. Otherwise just pull one fuse at a time and visually examine it. Generally you can tell a blown fuse by looking at it, but not always.

The fuse you are looking for is in the Passenger Compartment Fuse Box, the fuse for the left hand tail lamp (viewed from the rear of the vehicle) is F64. The right hand tail lamp fuse is F63 - both are RED in colour and rated at 10 amps. Hope this helps.

HEY! It is as simple as a blown fuse. In the fusebox on the lower left side of the driver's seat pull off the cover to the storage box and behind is the fuse box. The storage box reverse side has the labeling for the fuse location. Get yourself a fuse tester or just guess:) and use one of the spare fuses stored in the fuse box area. My problem was the exact same and it was a blown fuse for the "STOP LIGHT" which is the brake/taillights. Towing a boat I managed to get the lights on the trailer wet and shorted them out. Viola! Changed the fuse and it not only started but I could actually shift. Has been fine ever since. I now keep a set of varied fuses of the correct mini size in my glove compartment. Good Luck and I hope this helps.--Linda
