Problem solved. Sorry I can't find a delete option.

 

Is it in another thread or something? Post your problem and your solution. This board is a database searched extensively by the google and other search engines. Someone else may have the same problem you had and can be helped. Post it up.

 

Ok Franklin2, you have a point there, but I doubt it will help anyone much which is why I deleted it, along with being a little embarrassed when I found the answer was pretty obvious. I couldn't find the fuse panel that the manual said was in the passenger foot well. This is for a 2009 F450 V-10 cab cassis. I looked again and figured it out. Its on the side at the front of the door, behind a plastic interior panel. There is a pic of a fuse embossed into the plastic. I was looking for a possible blown fuse because my left headlight is totally dead. Daytime running light, low beam, and high beam all not working. I just wanted to check the fuse before removing the bulb. I replaced this bulb about 3000 miles ago because the original one was cracked and developed condensation in it (sealed beam) and eventually burned out. Since the fuses are good, I assume it was just a bad aftermarket bulb. I guess there could be a problem in the circuit somewhere that caused it. Since I replaced the bulb I had a few hundred $ of damage to the wiring due to some rats setting up shop under the hood when the truck was sitting for a couple weeks.

 

Thanks for writing back. It may help someone some day that does not have a owners manual for their truck and don't know the fuse panel location.

 

Speaking of fuse panels, I took a look, for the first time, at the one under the dash on the driver side in my 2002 F-250. I may be wrong, but it looked like all the fuses were micro/mini in size.

Some questions about the fuse panel:
Are there any normal sized fuses in the panel?
Are taps available for the micro/mini fuses to add a device (such as hardwire a gps)?
Are the numerous empty/unused slots wired so that one might use them as a power
source?

 

They make mini type fuse taps. Here's one.

If you are looking at empty fuse slots, you have to make sure there are metal contacts in the slot. Sometimes there is, sometimes not. Sometimes they use the same fuse box with a lower trim level wiring harness, and there are no metal contacts in the empty slot to draw power from.

 

Dave,

Thanks for the link. Looks like exactly what I need!
