hey what's up everybody welcome to my
0:03
channel today we're zeroing in on a tiny
0:06
fuse that plays a massive role in how
0:08
your car steers yep we're talking about
0:11
the electric power steering fuse in the
0:14
Ford Focus if your steering wheel
0:17
suddenly feels like it belongs on a tank
0:19
or you've got that power steering assist
0:21
warning on your dash this fuse might be
0:24
your culprit so let's get into it
0:32
all right first up the Ford Focus MK3
0:35
that's 2012 to 2018 pop that hood and
0:39
look right here at the under hood fuse
0:41
box this bad boy holds the key you're
0:44
looking for fuse F40 it's a brown 5 amp
0:48
mini fuse tiny but mighty it's what
0:51
keeps your power steering assist alive
0:54
and kicking use a fuse puller or
0:56
needle-nose pliers to gently remove it
0:59
hold it up to the light if that tiny
1:01
metal strip inside is broken or burned
1:04
out it's toast if it's blown replace it
1:08
with another brown 5 amp mini fuse same
1:11
color same rating no exceptions using
1:14
the wrong fuse could lead to more
1:16
electrical issues or even damage your
1:19
power steering system
1:29
now let's move on to the MK4 model years
1:34
2021 ford shuffled things around just a
1:37
little but it's still an easy fix same
1:41
drill under the hood but you might need
1:43

1:46
so here's the fuse look for fuse number
1:49
36 it's also a brown 5 AM minifuse pull
1:53
it out the same way inspect it test it
1:57
and if it's blown replace it with the
1:59
exact same rating remember always
2:02
disconnect your battery before working
2:04
on fuses to stay safe and hey don't
