Instrument panel wiring

03 F250 Instrument panel does not work. Have checked all fuses with a meter. Have already fixed broken wires from the OD button on shifter handle. and also the alternator is not charging. I need wiring diagram that shows the wires comming out the back of the fuse box so I can see if the fuse holder is burned out......or any other ideas??????please help

Is it new to you or have you had it for awhile? Did anything happen to coincide with this problem?

Autozone has the diagrams. Register, plug in your truck, and look under repair guides.

The fuse has blown 3 or 4 times about 3 months apart. when the fuse blows the instrament panel did go dead. changed the fuse and it sarted working again. This time the fuse is not blown. It looks like there is a broken wire or something between the fuse and the dash.

Thanks to you, I found the Autozone diagrams. I was the able to find that I did not have 12 volts through fuse 45. I then pulled out the fuse panel and found a burned spot on the curcuit board. Now I need a new fuse box.. Thanks for your tip on autozone it really helped
