Go here https://www.fleet.ford.com/..._manuals/default.asp Enter your vehicle information and when the owners manual comes up, click on roadside emergencies and scroll down until you see the fuse panes.

o.k. i found a blown fuse and replaced it and now my rear defrost works but the gauge cluster still doesn't work.
If anyone can help me figure this out it would be greatly appreciated.

Didn't know the rear defroster did not work. Glad something got fixed. How are you testing the fuses? Are you using a test light to see if there is urrent on both sides? Exactly what is wrong with the instrument cluster? Are the lights inoperable or are all the gauges not worlkig?

sorry about not saying anything about the rear defrost.
i was just pulling the fuses and looking at them,but in answer to your question, allof the gauges stopped working(temp,speedo,and fuel gauge).
all of the lights work.
