Access To Relays

[professor_ross]

Can anyone tell me how to get access to the relays behind the fuses under the steering wheel.

I have looked in the Tis but cannot find any instructions.

I can see two clips at the bottom of the fuse block but they don't release it. I presume there must be another retainer which then releases the unit allowing access to the relays behind.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks

I am after the front windscreen wiper relay - My handbook says 'The central fuse box is located under the instrument panel on the driver's side. It contains the fuses and relays in three levels. In order to replace a relay ask for a ford dealer for assistance'

 

It then lists the relays it says are on level two and three of the 'central fuse box - under instrument panel level 1.

pull the two white clips forward and push the fuse box up and towards yourself realy hard, I thouught i was going to break it but it does come out!

Thanks for replies. Found it best to remove trim around fuse unit - unscrew top support and then place two screwdriverss either side to release after unclipping two bottom clips.

Not altogether an easy process - after dropping the unit down it is still not easy to get at relays as some are underneath others. However managed what I needed in the end.

 

Thanks to everyone for all the great tips I have seen on the forum.
