Thanks for the tip! I guess I should stop overestimating my memory and just reference it.
Yes, the rearview camera does have a dedicated fuse! Check the owner’s manual for the exact location in the fuse box.
Remember, fuses can be temperamental! Sometimes, they look fine but still need replacement. Always take a good look before assuming!

True! I once replaced a fuse only to find it wasn’t the issue. That’s when I got my multi-meter!
A multi-meter is a lifesaver! If you suspect a malfunctioning fuse, testing it can save you headache down the line.
You’d think a truck this advanced would have fewer electrical issues! I guess there’s always room for improvement.
And yet, they still call it a truck! Haha. Just remember to stay patient; some of these fixes are just part of truck life.

I’m looking for the fuse box diagram for the 2017 F150 too! Anyone have a link or can share a picture?
I found a great resource on f150online.com! They have a detailed diagram of the fuse box and step-by-step instructions on fuse replacement.
Don’t forget to use the right amperage fuses when replacing! It’s crucial for safety and performance.
Agreed! Also, I always keep a few spare fuses in my glove box. You never know when you’ll need one!
Has anyone had issues with the fuse box getting moisture? I’m worried about corrosion.

I haven’t had that issue, but it’s a good point. Regularly check for any signs of wear or moisture, especially after rain or washes.
For the replacement process, all you really need are some needle-nose pliers and a flashlight to see well!

True! I also recommend wearing gloves. You don’t want to accidentally short something while working.
Just remember, if you keep blowing fuses, it could indicate a deeper electrical issue. Don’t ignore that!
Exactly! It might seem like a small fix, but safety first! Always double-check.
What do you all think about using a multimeter to check for continuity before replacing fuses? SMART or OVERKILL?
I think it’s smart! A multimeter is an excellent tool for preventing unnecessary fuse replacements.
I just had to replace a fuse for my headlights, and boy, did I feel like a mechanic! It felt good to DIY.
