Question 94 aerostar, blowing fuse

F8 , 15 amp. for CC, Speedometer, Dome lights, radio station selections buttons and clock.

Blown twice. Used only maybe CC after first replacement. Any ideas??

Smile Blown fuses

I can answer my own question. I went to a web site and for this auto it calls for a 20 ma fuse for the CC. I had the wrong fuse , 15ma, in that spot and of course my mechanic replaced with a 15 ma. He will be pleased , as I am, that the wrong fuse was in there somehow in the first place..
He will do it as I am way too old to be able to squirm into the van to change it myself.

Courtesy light switch in driver's door burned out and melted. Awaiting part from Ford.
Mechanic found it quickly. Did not have to go through all 7-8 circuits to find the bad one.
