FORD 2002 Excursion - Manual (Page 35)

IF THE ENGINE RUNS HOT
The following could cause the engine to overheat:
• Lack of coolant.
• Dirty cooling system.
• Driving with frozen coolant.
• Sticking thermostat.
• Overloading or pulling heavy trailers during hot weather.
• Grill or radiator air blockage.
• Slipping or missing drive belt.
• Plugged or very dirty air cleaner element.
IF FUSES BURN OUT
Burned-out or blown fuses usually indicate an electrical short-circuit,
although a fuse may occasionally burn out from vibration. Insert a second
fuse. If this fuse immediately burns out and you cannot locate the cause,
return your vehicle to your dealer for a circuit check.
Replacement fuses and circuit breakers must always be the same
rating as the original equipment shown. Never replace a fuse or
circuit breaker with one of a higher rating. Higher rated fuses or circuit
breakers could allow circuit overloading in the event of a circuit
malfunction, resulting in severe vehicle damage or personal injury.
Refer to the “Owner Guide” for replacement of fuses.
