The Ford Bronco (1992-1996) is a full-size SUV with a rugged design and iconic status among off-road enthusiasts. It features a two-door body style with a removable rear hardtop, offering versatility for both on-road and off-road use. Known for its spacious interior and durable build, the Bronco caters to drivers who need a capable vehicle for outdoor adventures or daily commutes. It is equipped with reliable electrical systems that support essential components like lighting, ignition, and power accessories.
The fuse box and relays play a vital role in maintaining these systems. The main fuse box is located under the dashboard on the driver’s side, while a power distribution box containing additional fuses and relays is in the engine bay. These components control high-load systems such as the starter, fuel pump, and air conditioning. Ensuring that the fuses and relays are intact is critical for uninterrupted operation of the Bronco’s key features.

WARNING
- Never replace a fuse with one that has a higher amperage rating.
- A fuse with a too-high amperage could damage the electrical part and cause a fire.
- On no account should fuses be repaired (e.g. patched up with tin foil or wire) as this may cause serious damage elsewhere in the electrical circuit or cause a fire.
- If a fuse blows repeatedly, do not keep replacing it. Instead, have the cause for the repeated short circuit or overload tracked and fixed.
- Terminal and harness assignments for individual connectors will vary depending on vehicle equipment level, model, and market.
