DRLs are on more than your headlights. They burn out faster and should be replaced regularly
Don't send mixed signals - if your turn signal doesn't blink, or blinks rapidly, you likely have a burnt out bulb

Many cars will burn or leak a little bit of oil. Over time, this adds up and you might need to add some - learn how to here!

The video above shows how to check for blown fuses in the engine bay of your 2003 Ford Explorer and where the fuse box diagram is located. If your map light, stereo, turn signals, heated seats, headlights or other electronic components suddenly stop working, chances are you have a fuse that has blown out. Fuses should always be the first thing you check if your Explorer is experiencing electrical difficulties because they are relatively easy to check and inexpensive to change. The more electronics your Explorer has, the more fuses it has. Some Fords have multiple fuse boxes in the engine bay, so be sure to find the fuse(s) in question. Some components may have multiple fuses, so make sure you check all of the fuses that are linked to the component in question.
If you need to replace a blown fuse in your Explorer, make sure you replace it with one that has the same amperage as the blown fuse. If checking and replacing the fuse for the component in question doesn't work, we recommend seeking assistance from a trusted professional mechanic. They should be able to figure out if the component needs to be replaced or if there is a short or some other problem with your Explorer.
