According to the Explorer 2003 User Manual the passenger compartment fuses 8 and 9 are not used. Interestingly 8 exist as a 5 amp and 9 as a 15 amp fuse. I'm curious if these fuses actually are being used or not.
My investigations so far resulted that the fuses are "hot in start or run" just like fuses 10 through 14. The other side of fuse 9 goes to the top righ pin of the huge screw on plug (looking at user manual p184). Fuse 8 goes to the same plug whre the "hot in start or run" powers comes, specifically the bottom righ pin (looking at user manual p184). Fuse 8 also goes to relay 4 and to two pins of relay 6. Both of these relays do not exist.
I do have the workshop manual and wiring diagrams on CD but I'm having a hard time navigating through it and locating these two fuses or the wiring harneses to which they connect. If you want to give me a lesson how to successfully utelize the CD feel free to do so and if you can assist me in satisfying my curiosity that would be awsome.
