2001 lincoln town car fuse has no spade connector

you have something shorting out when you when put it back together , it helps to wire a house before you try and wire a vehicle , just to give you an idea .

Nothing is shorting.....Where the fuse plugs into the fuse box there is nothing to hold the fuse in place

I am having the exact same problem! Did, you figure it out?

I did. My owners manual and every diagram I saw online showed the wrong fuse. It was fuse #32 on my town car says it's for the cigar lighters for the back doors for long wheel base only. But once I replaced it everything fixed. GOOD LUCK!

those functions are HAT , hot at all times , cigarette lighter , brake lights , horn , shift solenoid , etc , FYI , even the factory can get it wrong once in a while

Beatupchevy get the f*ck outta here with your smart ass comments.

you must be ignorant because there's nothing "smartass" about it , but be that way

"It helps to wire a house before you try to wire a vehicle" how is that in any way helpful??? Neither of your responses had anything to do with the original question. So yea you're just being a smartass

Under the hood.. 40 amp fuse is blown.. Guaranteed..!!! $4 at autozone...
