2016 F250 Left Trailer Light Fuse

Understanding the 2016 Ford F250 Left Trailer Light Fuse

The 2016 Ford F250 is equipped with a set of fuses that control various electrical systems in the vehicle, including the trailer lights. If your left trailer light is not functioning, it might be an issue with the fuse. Here’s what you need to know to locate and possibly replace it.

Fuse Box Location

The Ford F250 has two main locations where fuses are housed:

1. Passenger Compartment Fuse Box: Located on the lower right side of the passenger side footwell. To access it, you may need to remove a cover panel.
2. Power Distribution Box: Found in the engine compartment, this box is usually on the driver’s side, near the battery.

Fuse Diagram and Identification

To specifically address the trailer lights, you’ll generally find the relevant fuses within the Power Distribution Box under the hood.

Steps to Check and Replace the Fuse

• Ensure the ignition is off before checking or replacing the fuse.
• Open the hood and locate the Power Distribution Box.
• Find fuse number 52 for the left trailer tow light using the diagram on the fuse box cover.
• Using a fuse puller or a pair of needle-nose pliers, gently extract the fuse.
• Check if the metal strip inside the fuse is broken. If it is, the fuse is blown.
• Replace with a new 15A fuse of the same type.
• Reinstall the fuse box cover and test your trailer lights.

Additional Tips

It’s a good idea to keep some spare fuses in your vehicle. This simple check and replacement process can save a lot of frustration, especially when you’re on the road with a trailer in tow. Regular maintenance checks to ensure all lights and electrical components are functioning can prevent fuse-related issues.
