that fuse behind the instrument panel in a 72

[warponyxlt]

last week i did a little wiring checks/work behind the instrument panel. I noticed an in line fuse that was popped it must be factory because it comes right out of the wiring harness its one of them little glass ones in a two piece twist together type things any help would be great

it wouldn't be the stereo would it, better yet http://www.fordification.com/wiring.htm and scroll down to your 69 wiring section and see if the diagrams help figure out what you have,

is your truck a camper special or a ranger or custom ? what is it. i haven't even seen a factory fuse in a 72 like that. but i have only seen one 72 wiring set up.

What color / stripe color is the wire going to the fuse holder?

[warponyxlt]

it is a 72 ranger xlt half ton one of them loaded ones w/t fullgauges an all that jazz but when i replaced the fuse i never noticed any thing different

it was red and it went into the fender thru the cab it came from a three wire harness it is factory i can tell by the tape and dust

[fordman]

that could be the famous red wire for the alt guage.
