Fuse problem underhood?

Hey i am working ona 95 stroke, it has a dead short on the 50amp maxi fuse #15 under the hood. The manual says the fuse is for fuses 1 and 7 in the cab and for the power network box. Fuse E. I cant seem to find any info on the power network box, any help would be greatly appriciated. Thanks, Chad.

Don't think we have a power network box. Fuse #15 50A does supply power to fuse 1 and 7 in the cab as you mentioned. Diagram shows it also supplies power to fuse #5 15A in the engine compartment. Is this a truck or a Van?

It is a 4x4 5spd pickup that has the dually one ton conversion done. Any ideas would be great because this one is making my head hurt.

power network box? maybe you are refering to the power distribution box,which is the fuse block under the hood which subfeeds the fuses in the cab.
i would start with the process of elimination to try and isolate your problem.Remove fuses#1,#5,and#7 in the cab,then see if fuse #15 under the hood blows,if it does you have a wiring problem between the fuse blocks.if not install fuses#1,#5,and#7 one at a time untill fuse blows again this will point out which circuit you have to check out.

in cab fuses:
#1-heater/ a/c blower
#5-air bag restraint
#7-turn lamps,rear window defrost

heres a link to a '96 manual, there's a little information in there.
1996 Bronco/F-Series Workshop Manual
i have schematics for the '97 electrical system if they would work for you.i can't manage to post them.i would have to email them to you.send me a pm if you need them.
good luck, i know electrical problems can be a P.I.T.A. sometimes.

Thanks. We found the problem, it had a wire grounded in the cab where the main harness plugs into fire wall.
