Where is the fuze box on 2001 Ford Taurus and How do I know which fuse is for Dashboard lights?

Check Fuses and Relays, but this has a GEM (general electronics module). You may need and auto-electrician as nothing covers brake lights, but that may be a fault with the brake light switch.

WARNING... if your dash lights are out, your tail lights are likely out also! The fuse panel is under your dash on the drivers side of your steering column, it has a cover that snaps off, might be another one on ends/sides of dash panel. Here is a link to a good video showing location. There might be an identification chart inside the cover. Check location #29 first.

IF you dont have dashboard lights ,you probably dont have running lights check your tail light fuse. if this was helpful please leave me good feedback

CHECK AND SEE IF YOU HAVE TAIL LIGHTS USED TO BE FUSED TOGETHER

Yes, there would be a fuse box inside car. Either driver's side at kick panel, or passenger side in the glove box or underneath at the kick panel. When you find it, put that 40 amp fuse back in and continue with your test. I don't know what that junction block fuse is for. Surely someone will post it.

do you whant to disable the air bags or the air bag light on the dashboard?? if you want to disable the air bag mecanism you just have to take the fuse out of the fuse box under the dash or under the hood near the battery.

Fuse F229 15amp.

if that fuse always blow out then you have a short circuit in your electrical lines.
