Electrical Question
Ok Fuse #8 blows No power locks, no courtesy bell, no odometer, no speedo, no overhead light. Does anybody have a simple schematic or a common point of reference for the 97 obs with this problem? Help....TAter

Yep I had the same problem on my 95. I think it was the #8 fuse but all those things didn't work. I needed a new keyless entry module. If you unplug it you won't have power locks or dome lights but the fuse won't blow anymore. The module has 3 long flat connectors and is under the dash to the right of the steering column.

thats the way it went with mine. The module i got form the salvage yard lasted a few weeks then did the same thing. they gave me another one and it was good from then on. just a note they are the same modules that many other fords use so just check around. I got mine for $50.

I did have the same fuse blown, and I didn't realize till I found a link in another thread to a picture of the fuse layout that it is definitely number 8. The fuse blows, and I have been carrying some with me and changing it on the fly. I'm going to try disconnecting that module tomorrow to see what happens. Thanks a ton for your help!
. It looks like there are a bunch of them.
