Fusebox

I was wondering if anyone has or can get me a picture of the fuse box for a 80 ford f150 I6 4 speed? It looks like the PO of this truck took out some of the fuses and didn't replace them. So...I only have 3 fuses in there , with no interior lights or radio I think I have some missing. Thanks Windy

If you still have the original owner's manual, there will be a diagram somewhere near the back. I would get a pic of mine, as mine is an '80 also and would be the same, but I've done some rewiring to mine and some of the amperage values aren't the same as they were from the factory. If you don't have the manual though, I'd be more than happy to post a pic of the diagram from it.

I don't have the original manual for it, and my truck bible doesn't either. I would greatly appreciate it if you could.

This is from an '86 probably mostly the same.

It's not the same.

The 1980 fuse box arrangement is drastically different to the 1981-1986 trucks.

Here is the power distribution wiring diagram for the 1980. It has the info you seek, but you have to read each of the wires in the diagram to find out what goes where. I know someone has a simple fuse diagram for the 1980 somewhere.

From Franklin2's diagrams:





Ya know, there *might* be something like this in the parts catalog, but, if there is, where is it......

There isn't in mine as far as I can see.

It shows the Plastic Fuse Panel itself as a seperate part though.
